Show Me Your Telecasters!

I must be getting dementia or something [confused] I was just looking at my group Tele photo and I thought "where is my 72 Thinline"? Doh! I ran into the studio a few minutes ago and there it was right where I left it behind a stack of Fender tweed amps [blush] Here she is - Number 8

YaY! It could vanish into some bar floor like all the rest of my Tele switch tips!

Ah, you didn't click the link did you? See, that's the beauty of it - it has a set screw just like your other knobs.

That reminds me of when I pulled my third Flying V out of the closet and my wife said, "Where the heck did THAT one come from?" Answer: "1983."

 

It's not a Gibson, but was my first V and still plays great.

A good problem to have! (Not dementia, mind you, but a lot of gear). [biggrin] We are just jealous.

I am quite certain there are players on here whose collections make mine look pale in comparison. And for those that do - I feel sorry for them. Lotta maintenance involved & a crap load of string changes [blink]

 

Brought the Roland JC-22 amp in from the studio - anybody else pick up one of these? Great livingroom amp with great cleans & clarity & doesn't shake stuff off the walls. Sounds wonderful with Teles too! [thumbup]

The funny thing about the Telecaster, it's not flashy and it's never my go to guitar, although it should be. My Rosewood Tele is just a dream to play, with a perfectly sized satin neck. Maybe the solid one piece rosewood neck/fretboard has something to do with that. Plus I really dig the '62 Tele single coil pups. Especially the neck pickup, with a little treble rolled back, is smooth gravy. Middle position gets me a Santana like vibe,which is rare in a single coil.

 

Point being they are far more versatile than most would give them credit for. Leo got it right!

Just a little MIM basic model. Got an email coupon from Guitar Center several years ago $100 off it you spend $300. Tele was marked at $400, but when they rung it up found it was mis-marked, only $300 price so with coupon picked it up for $200.

 

Have to admit I don't play it much, but if I want that Tele twang - this has it. [thumbup]
