you try to "intellectualy" faint that you don't understand, but it leads nowhere, it can't be a honest discussion, so there can't be a honnest conclusion, hence this endless talk.
this published book isn't a hard proof. this is claims by someone we can quite trust and who worked with jimi for sure, but that's all, this isn't called a proof. this is the word of someone. a word isn't a proof. i hope that you got it now, son, or grandpa ? uncle ?
hard proof is for example jimi in a video playing an amp which sounds just like it should, and opening it in front of our eyes, showing the tubes, the mods etc ...
there's no such thing.
about Eddie, i remember vaguely an interview where he talks about a little blonde amp, and he named the amp, a fender ... bassman ? showman ? i don't remember.
related facts and pictures "proved" that he was wrong and his memory wasn't so perfect". it wasn't a bassman but another, or whatever. who knows if everything he says in his book is totaly accurate ... we'll never know. it could very well be the case with this tele neck.
now you want hard proof : all you'll have is words, from either side, because that's all there is in this world.
a picture with el34 today isn't a picture with el34 from 45 years ago : there's not. but it doesn't mean that jimi didn't play with some, at least in the blackflag, i guess ... we'll never know. we'll have only believable things, words, sounds, and some pictures that don't show everything.
