Two Bald Eagle chicks on their tide line nest, almost a decade ago on Middleton Island (Gulf of Alaska).

Korean Wood Work

Early 1990’s Korean made Hohner TE Custom Telecaster: http://www.markwills.co.uk/hohner/

I believe this is/was the same model as reviewed in the February 1994 Guitarist magazine (“The imagery in the magazine review shows a Mark II style headstock, with a Mark III bridge plate (6 saddles)”) Both pickups have been replaced with Fender Tex Mex’s (already regretting not putting a humbucker in the neck position..? Such a heavy guitar). The bridge saddles were replaced with new Chinese ones and a new bone nut and locking tuners installed.
