Erm, what is a Daza?

I actually got the thing for $150 from cash converters, so I should be able to make some profit out of it :D

You don't need to be Dazza to go from an SG to a Tele, I did recently :P (Although I still own the SG and to be fair Dazza still hasn't brought anything yet)

Haha Dazza is a member of these forums who has been trying to swap his SG for Tele for about the past 6 months (might not be that long but seems it) and has started a few threads about it and posted in the Trademe thread a million times but no matter how much he talks about it and looks at auctions he never buys one. Being called Dazza is kind of an insult but in a light hearted kinda way :P

Can also be used as a verb... "I like the looks of that one but I'm going to Dazza it"

Ooohh I see. Well, I guess I'll embrace this newfound persona then :mrgreen:

Just a question though, anyone have any idea how much this thing would be worth? I've managed to find out that it's an Electra from the Matsomoku factory in the 70s. It's all original apart from the bridge pickup and the lack of name badge, only one major ding.

Dude doesn't start nearly enough threads or ask enough of the same questions over and over.

Got a PM last week asking about my avatar. Black Benny is an ongoing experiment in everything from finishes, setup and pickups, to hardware and string gauges.

It started life as a 1998 Squier according to Ash but the neck, which is small for me but normal for most of you, is the only original and (almost) unmolested bit remaining.

It plays very well and changes character with each new pickup combination. Don't much like the Duncan 59 it's wearing at the moment though; I'm just not that angry anymore.

So it exists to be a victim to my whims. It will never be played much because even with the Fender 62CS pickups, the best it's had, all it could do was illustrate how resonant, 3 dimensional and utterly cinematic the Korinacaster is

Thats one of the best original Tele's I've ever seen. But taking out the single coil in the bridge pickup is missing the best part about Tele's. :D

Steel that used to be a server rack door.

That's exactly what installing the '59 taught me. :D

No shit, thats what I've been looking for to make a pedalboard! (with slightly bigger holes so the patch leads and daisy chain can fit through). Very cool.
Too many guitars, not enough talent.
