I was following the auction on line and bidding on a few things as they came up not expecting to actually win a bid And ended up buying one of the Glendale teles. Mine is the blonde, black guard 50s. It’s incredibly beautiful and very light. Nice grain in the body. The neck is perfect. I reached out to the builder to see if there was a story behind it and this is what he sent: Jim, I have always been a huge Steely Danfan. So when I got the call that Walter wanted to order one of my guitars I was very excited. By what I can remember I think he already owned one of my guitars. I think the first guitar he bought from me was a Dreamcaster. Then I made the orange Supermod guitar and he liked it and bought that one. And then I had the good fortune to be invited to a Steely Dan show to meet Walter. I brought 3 guitars and he played on them and said I like all of them I'll take all 3. I got to talk with him joke around and have a great time, I saw the show from the side of the stage. Earlier in the night before the show we walked down a hallway and Donald Fagen was sitting on a bench talking to a few people. It seem somewhat strange to see Donald Fagen that close up, not that is was strange. Just when I was a 17 year old kid driving around in my car listening to Steely Dan I never imagined I would someday be in the same room with them. I wanted to say hi to Donald and shake his hand but I did not want to bother him so I just walk on past. I wish Walter was still with us. Thanks, Dale So there you go... I’ve got a great guitar with a cool back story!
