If you already know the story behind that Telecaster (or have read the link below) - stop reading here. If you don't, you might find the story at the following link interesting. I ran across it last night. The story of how Bobby came to play that Tele told me some things I didn't know and seemed kind of touching. http://dozin.com/bobs/tele.htm Bill palembic Senior Member Username: palembic Post Number: 2059 Registered: 9-2002 Posted on Tuesday, July 26, 2005 - 2:36 pm:    Brother Bill, great story ...didn't know it. True and essential reading about life I should say.

Here's another story about it from last year's S.F. Chronicle. (I remembered reading this in the back of my head, did a search and found it right away. Ain't the internet amazing for some things?) http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2004/03/21/PKGND5LCDD1.DTL&hw=bob+weir+telecaster&sn=001&sc=1000 Bill, tgo davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 2103 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Tuesday, July 26, 2005 - 4:45 pm:    Great stories; thanks guys!! indigo New Username: indigo Post Number: 9 Registered: 6-2005 Posted on Wednesday, July 27, 2005 - 12:43 pm:    Wow...cool story.
