Oh, I feel you. I guess Fender didn’t trademark the shapes of their guitars back in the day? Or maybe they couldn’t? But I know there are lots of axes out there with the exact same bodies as Teles or Strats.

The rate of deaths per 100,00 has been steadily going down, although it did go up slightly in 2020. Our best year was 10.49/100,000 in 2014. The rate in 2020 was 11.67/100,000 but it fluctuated up and down between those years.

I know!  He’s a putz, a moron and a true anti-American jackhole.

First of all, it’s never inappropriate to talk Prince, LOL. But that’s not a Tele; it’s a Hohner. Yes, it looks like a Tele but it’s not a Fender product.

I absolutely have been very demonstrative but that’s because I detest terrorists - both foreign and domestic - as well as those who support them or try to justify their behavior.

Absolutely! My dad owned several of these when I was growing up and we drove them all over the USA. They were AWESOME; still are, in fact.

Cool story bro, but it has nothing to do with illegal invasion currently being perpetrated by Vladimir Putin, and supported by pretty much every Republican in America. Right is right and wrong is wrong and there is no doubt that what Putin is doing is wrong. Let’s never forget - Trump’s buddy Putin is a guy who has…

Actually, “WHAT ABOUT BLM!!11!???1!!  ANTIFA!!! ANTIFA!!!!!!11!11!!!” is. You lost this thing before you started, son. But then again, those who support terrorists are losers by definition.

First of all, who gives a shit about how BLM was treated? Your “WHAT ABOUT BLM?!?!1?11??!!!!” bullshit is just that - bullshit.

I’d really like to visit there some day.  

Their “favorite president” supports a communist-in-sheep’s clothing (Putin) while stating he’s in a “love affair” with an actual commie (Kim Jung-Un). And the radical right-wing Republicans think that’s just fine and dandy.

Yeah, and I wish I knew how to change that.

No, regular through-the-body model. But I’m the ‘59 model - the Tele is a 1984 reissue of the ‘56 model. I didn’t know squat about Telecasters; I bought it because I thought it was what Prince and Bruce Springsteen played. They didn’t play this particular model and Prince didn’t play a Tele at all, but I got lucky and…

You’re not much of an American; in fact, you’re what’s wrong with America.

FIFY.

That POS wouldn’t know an M-16 from an M-80, and he once had bacon “cooked” on the barrel of one of those items.

If you could leave, who would you support in this and where would you go?

It’s not that we’re not a smart people; it’s that for the last 40 years half the country has been fed a bogus “Democrats hate America!” message from right-wing radio, TV and social media. There are grown adults in their 50's and even 60's who’ve heard that message continuously their entire adult lives.  I don’t know…

You have to be kidding. You don’t know whether or not you’d be against Russia taking over a part of another country simply because they (Russia) sent a lot of “separatists” over there to promote a pro-Russian agenda as a pretext for an illegal annexation?

I thought this t-shirt was a joke but I’ll be danged if it doesn’t accurately represent the thinking of a frightening number of Republicans:
