Demoed here and talked about.

I saw a video of these earlier, they sound great IMO, but they’re not cheap.

Top piece of info there, thanks!

It’s been a quiet hereabouts, so I’m going to post my current Tele again, but this time with a term system fitted.

Sad but true.

I don’t own a Katana but I’d say get the Tele, because you’ll get more joy from a guitar you’ve always wanted, rather than a new black box with knobs on. However, if an amp is what you need, also have a look at the Boss Nextone, they sound great on YT.

Awesome, because P90s just are Of course Yamaha did put a P90 in some of the more upmarket versions, albeit in the neck position.

$25,000 I think the whammy bar is just screwed in and flops around, willy nilly. An application of PTFE tape is a common cure, or one can go down the Fender route and drop a small spring into the arm hole.

No one else this week? OK, here’s not one, but 3 Teles (or T types at least) for you.

As I've been going for iconic Teles the last couple of weeks, I thought I'd continue with Bruce Springsteen's, together with a link to a Rolling Stone piece on the guitar. Enjoy. https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/bruce-springsteens-favorite-guitar-the-story-behind-one-of-a-kind-fender-119846/ 

Borrowing from BC's 'Basses On The Settee' thread, I thought we should have our own. So...

It’s Saturday, so how about a 1954 Strat being used in anger? Probably my favourite guitar player (at least today ).

I’ve noticed that when I’m down or stressed out (not so much these days) that I don’t pick up my guitars or basses. A sure sign that things aren’t right, but also a way to back to normal just by picking one up and making some time to play.

That’s a great photo of JS.

OK, I'm a bit early, but I thought I'd get my addition to Tele Tuesday out now and hopefully prompt some others to jump on tomorrow. Similarly to last week, I'm adding a video of an iconic Tele (in fact 2). Enjoy...

I thought I’d add what is probably one of the most iconic Teles in popular music (YMMV).

Ooh, hello pretty! Is that a Chapman?

Pics on arrival please.

Another week passes and another Tele takes the stage. However, due to the quality of the photo, the Tele in question has to share the stage with the other 4 of Leo's greatest hits (I tried a crop but the result was way too noisy). It's a Tele Lite Ash which came with Seymour Duncan Alnico 2 pickups and is yet again another guitar I wish I hadn't moved on .

A blast from the past with my old Strat (long since moved on) that played brilliantly and sounded spot on, especially with the DiMarzio SDS 1 I fitted in the bridge.

Right, this week I thought I'd add this beauty. It's an Anderson Drop T owned by Dave Kilminster. It's very much the colour inspiration behind my own Tele build.

I'm quite taken with these and, if I could justify another guitar, would definitely look at one, or the Jim Adkins, P90 equipped, semi-hollow Tele.

And a good deal cheaper than a mass produced equivalent from those chaps in Corona, California.

It seems to have been a bit quiet on GC of late. I know it’s still early days, but I though I’d start a thread that could be added to once a week (at least). Therefore, I am instigating Tele Tuesday. Post any photos that you like of T types that have caught your eye, or one’s that own (they don’t need to be from the big F, just be Tele like in their appearance). I’m going to kick it off with this Mesinger Maverick that I saw today (this makes my wallet itchy).
