Yea, that 56 tele, is like a lot of found classic vehicles. It was in a dudes barn way out in the boonies. I bought it for 300.00 about 25 years ago. I figure-I can drive my old truck a lot better than I could ever play that guitar, so by selling it, Ol Blue can ride in style, eh. I shall see....
Adjustment of that steering gear may do it. I have the shop manual that explains the loosening and tightening procedure, if I can figure out how to get on the engine side of the gear box with tools. BTW, are all those vehicles listed on your replies yours? If so, wowzer! brad
