I remember playing Don's sparkle Tele in Bucks studio while recording with the Buckeroo's. It was leaning against the drum booth. I picked it up and played it. The strings were heavy. I didn't use it because of that. I would have to agree with Mark. I took the strings off a yellow Tele of Don's. I saved them. And lost them unfortunately. Things happen when you get a divorce. I always thought the taper of his string bends were due to his heavy string guage. I love Tele's!
