thomasw88 Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 (edited) Something a bit special and rare here. I bought this for a countryesque band I was playing in, but now as not playing in it, don't really need it. The guitar is a G&L Will Ray Tribute thinline telecaster with B-Bender. Its a cracking guitar, and they aren't made any more so you won't see many of these around. The hipshot b-bender works a treat. Couple of things that I've had done to the guitar: 1. the original pickups sounded great, but I'm quite traditional when it comes to teles, so I had a new pickguard made, and I've put in a couple of normal tele pickups, new pots, and a 3 way switch in. I still have the original pickups, pots, and switch and they will be included with the sale should the person buying wish to put it back to the original configuration. 2. The original tuners weren't very good, so I've replaced them with some locking vanson tuners. The new tuners are fecking great and work a treat! I don't have the original tuners any more, think they got chucked. There aren't many of these around at the moment, theres one on Richards guitars for £899, http://rguitars.co.uk/products/will-ray-signature and also one on the bay for £785 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/252616081886?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Some piccy's here. I'm looking for a rather bargainous £580. Edited November 10, 2016 by thomasw88 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flaneur Posted November 12, 2016 Report Share Posted November 12, 2016 By 'traditional', I'm assuming you've put vintage wound pickups in? Lovely guitar! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomasw88 Posted November 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 Yes they are vintage wound, they weren't particularly expensive but I tried a few different sets and these ones suit the guitar perfectly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
