If you have been looking at some of the guitar pics that I've posted on the blog over the past year, you will have noticed a rather interesting telecaster usually hiding in the background of the pics.I haven't ever reviewed this Telecaster as until now it hasn't actually been mine to review..until the offer came in from the owner today to purchase this guitar.
Shes an amazing guitar to play. What she is though is another matter.
A workhorse, thats a fact.I will post better pics asap.
Facts are facts though, this G has been modified as a player and to hoots with originality.
By all accounts the body is a 69 apparently, modified to take an extra pup in the middle position. The neck is a whole different story and amazing to play.
..true or false , but the story goes that the person who made this neck also makes the necks for Bruce Springsteens' telecasters. I have no idea, just to say its an amazing neck with jumbo frets by all accounts and no reg number.I haven't removed from body and probably wont either.
The pick ups have been chopped and changed, with a rio grande in the tail and no idea what the other two are.Just a great sound , very country. The body could have been refinished by all accounts.
But this telecaster is a player and has an interesting history. But more importantly the sound is frikken awesome and nothing will be changed or chopped.
By all accounts it could be an early japanese telecaster and I wouldn't care!
