Why shouldn't I trade the Townshend SG for this?

Wow, I was playing my telecaster last night at practice... and it is just the perfect guitar style for me right now.

If I could get a hold of a real top of the line ASAT, like the one pictured, I think that would be just ideal...

The problem is, the SG is also a great guitar... and maybe better for a lot of the rock my band plays... but a nice tele with a bucker in the neck... I mean, it doesn't get more Rock 'n' Roll than Keith Richards... okay maybe Pete Townshend... :D

I don't like my own special version of GAS... GTS, Gear Trading Syndrome.

Well, talk me out of it, into it... I don't know... thoughts?

    The Townsend SG is rare and hard to find.


    you can get a holobody ASAT like that anywhere. They are all over.

    Why not wait and buy a nice ASAT Bluesboy when you have a little money?

    alright... calming... calming... maybe I should just play my tele for a while...

    I executed a great windmill at the show Friday night... Pete would have been proud...

    Just out of curiousity... How much $$ would a Townshend SG go for? Are they "collectible" yet?

    Alright, I have come to my senses... I just get on kicks and want different gear... I think we all go through that from time to time.

    Kind of like Prozac for GAS

    That's appreciated too.

    So, my guitar player and I are playing a Mardi Gras party this Saturday in Soulard.

    What are some good "party" type songs to play on acoustics... crowd participation and humor are key.

    We are doing, Hit me Baby One More Time and Let's Get it On... but we need some others.

    We are likely doing Immortality as well... not a fun song, but we play it well, and there will be people who appreciate Pearl Jam there.

    Thanks for any suggestions.
