manufactured 1998

Played by Danny Gatton, Jimmy Page (on Zep I and II), Keith Richards, Steve Cropper, James Burton

Amazingly fat neck. Has the classic telecaster sound. I'm a huge fan of the Hoodoo Gurus and Dave Faulkner plays mainly blonde teles which was my main reason for chasing one down. I went to a guitar show in Birmingham and saw one of these and the Patrick Eggle at the same show. I couldn't afford both but the guy selling the tele assured me it wouldn't sell at the show and I should go and visit his shop the next week. I rung the following week and it was sold. Over 2 years later I saw this one advertised by Flying Pig in London. I got on the phone and ordered it a mate brought it over to Sweden for me. If you ever get the chance to live in Sweden, pass it up.
