I remember entering the competition in the NME to win that guitar. I also remember not winning and thinking that the winner’s tiebreak answer was pretty good (I loathe the NME because…) and a worthy winner.

That works .

Yep! Therein lie the important chord tones, which will add flavour to your soloing.

A common mistake is for folk to stick to the minor pentatonic when improvising, whether the key or chord is major or minor. Try and make sure you’re complimenting the chord by emphasising the 3rd note. A lot of players tend to play through the scales from one end to the other. Stand out from the crowd by making some interesting, intervalic jumps (Carl Verheyen is the king of this, check him out). Don’t be in a hurry to show your chops too early, build to a crescendo and release (the solo from Stairway is a great example of this).

I bought the Classic Vibe 50s Tele many years ago. All that remains of the original beast are, the neck and hardware, neck plate, control plate and scratch plate, although that’s been modded to accept the new neck pickup. The old body has become a small table and the old hardware is cluttering up a cupboard. Can’t help on the tuner ratio thing I’m afraid.

Or, pretty much, exactly the same.

I bet that very subtle change in the graphics really pisses Klon off, which makes me smile.

Shame, but there are plenty of other brands and designs out there. For me, the hunt is often the best bit.

Totally agree. Like you a 6120, Setzer Sig or Hot Rod would be awesome, but
