Strings & Things Custom Model 84: I didn't know, till I knew. 1982 Honeyburst

Like I'm an expert. Nope, but I have an eye for quality, and I know people who know people. As I racked my brain, the thought of who that in-the-know person was came to mind. Here's when you send out the text, talking about, um, dude, do you know what model this is? My go to put me dead on the scent unknowingly to me with a name. That name? Tom Keckler.

You see, this guitar was made by Tom Keckler and Tom Anderson of TK's guitar services for, you guessed it, Strings and Things, and I must say that this guitar is spectacular. "Lee, you're just saying that to hock a guitar." I do sell guitars, but I'm a guitarist as well, and I'm telling you that this guitar is magic.

Why wouldn't it be? This has the feel of a hand-made guitar. This maple 3 AAA top will rival any Les Paul, and the rosewood fingerboard is rich with tone. This Les Paul meets Telecaster has a body made of ash, and I'm here to tell you, you won't put this down. These original pickups features the Bluesbucker IV pickup Assembly. This two humbucking pickup assembly is controlled with "push-pull" volume and tone, and a 3 way pickup selection switch that throw fire in the face of the unsuspecting and at a weight that will leave your chiropractor without milk money.

I know, I see, the price. But price is what you pay, quality is what you get and this isn't your typical Blues-master. Before you say it, I know Clapton had one of those. Why? Because he didn't have this, duh.

P.S. I'd would like to thank Tom Keckler for his guidance and insight. I appreciate your help.
