There supposed to be like... guitars that stand up to, you know... I mean we've run over one of my guitars with a van once and it's like, it still kinda just plays. So I have a bunch of these but you know... Like this type of black Tele with a white um...(pickguard) But this one is a newer one, I have ones that are like built from like sixties parts and from some other things as well...''

Nicholaus Arson on Premier Guitar:

''This has been my main guitar; a Tele Custom. This has been my main guitar for... I don't know, maybe for a couple of years I think. This is the one that I play mostly. I don't really know too much, I mean you can probably read it from there (the headstock) but it's um... Usually Pelle buys my guitars and then I buy 'em off of him because he's more into guitars than I am. But this one is um... This one sounds really great, it's got a high... It's got like a hot pickup and all that and it's a... good wood and all. Sounds great. I mean they get thrown around and busted but they... this one is um... the one that I've kinda been considering my favorite over the last, I guess couple of years.''
