Big John, is that guitar strap on the Wendel picture the one with the Norwegian flag on it ? Or do my eyes betray me ?

Yup, that's the one !!, my first trip to Norway was a six week stint at a club called 'Silius' in Kr.Sand where i played with Roger Humphries for 6 weeks (8 shows a week).
Hard work but BIG fun !!, thats where the patch came from, it later went on to annoy a TV producer in Sweden and i think its more famous than me !! :sad: :mrgreen:

Well, here's another one for ye Scotland...

Still do it for most of us here, including me. :oops:

OK, I'll go for it. 1st picture is non-Tele, playing a bluegrass festival years ago with my 1st guitar, a beloved Hummingbird. Me on right. We weren't bluegrassers, think we were doing "Friend of the Devil" during the photo. Second picture is about 30+ years later, me w. my Tele partscaster at my Canada hunting camp a couple of weeks ago.

I probably shouldn't do this but....

AS I've said a lot lately, anything for a laugh. Our band was playing a birthday party of a friend. the theme was 80's. We played a bunch of 80's pop tunes and all of us dressed up in an 80's theme. We had some flock of seagulls, some rockabilly types and me:

It got shaved off the very next day and I am reminded of the first thought I had at basic training all those years ago.... my head's a weird shape.

Anyways, I'm hoping to being back to looking normal in a week or so.... at least my hair might be normal.

Is the Lake Placid blue hair original or is it a refinished model ? :lol:

It was originally a light blonde model, but over the years it aged a little redder... recently however, I've seen flecks of gray in the clear coat around the sides...:oops:

So I decided to refin in blue, but I've gone back to unfinished... eventually I think it'll grow... I mean go back to blond.:shock:

Cool guitar robb. I wish I bought one way back when they were new and I had the chance. I considered it and bought a J.V. Strat, if I had bought the Tele, I would still have it, the Strat is long gone...I regret that too. :sad:

Ok,it's a 1983 Japanese Squier Strat (my first proper guitar) Not a Tele sorry, It used to be white but it wore off (like my fringe) Still lookin' for the Tele ones on the ole PC. Oh, i'm the bald geezer wrangling it! My Ska band playing support.in May this year to a 15 piece band called The Soul Destroyers. Great band.

That Strat looks beautiful. How old is it ? Is it an SQ series ?

I'm the thorn between the roses... Publicity pic from 2 years ago. :smile:

It's me, it's me, it's Jimmy D......(the one with the Strat.)

Scotland
Yep, SQ12255. I bought it in 1984 of a guy I was working with. He said he'd bought it the year before. I fell in love with it and offered him the same as he paid for it (£200/£250 I think). I modded it (Oh lord!) in the late 80's with a Kahler trem (I broke the original trem arm doing Steve Vai stuff) and had the trem cavity routed to give me a bit more upward pull. I also stuck a DiMarzio humbucker in the bridge.Then I resurrected it a few years ago and got the urge to put it back as it was. Three new pickups (texas specials )and mint scratch plate (all off ebay) It's got a Wilkinson bridge now and an ugly bit of wood filling the hole. If this was a woman I should be in jail for what I did to her:oops: .I still love it but I have retired it now, paid for itself quite a few times over by now. Sorry to go on but old guitars are old friends really:lol:

Hey Chet

I don't gig. It was just a gathering of friends and family. Jamming at the wedding was part of the deal. :wink:
The other guys are or have been pro/semi pro. Actively gigging on far left (guitar) is Bill D from Smoke and Mirrors, and bass is Bill K from The Hillcrest Gang. Far right is Carey (retired for some time) from the Carey Rowe Showe.

A great time was had by all. The show went from 4:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. and I stayed and enjoyed every minute. Jimmy Wilsey and his band completely smoked the joint! (Er, um...well, THAT didn't come out quite right--but you know what I mean: Jimmy and his band kicked ass. :wink:)

Ok, I've been lurkin around this thread for a time... And I guess it's time to unleash the monster...

Hey Chet,

I understand they do surgical miracles with extra limbs these days! That 3rd leg must be brutal on a day to day basis. BUTT, I guess playing the guitar and the high hat at the same time could have it's upside.

:lol:

OMG!!! :razz:

you think the beard is big now, wait a couple of months till around june or so, you shall be amazed,
lil animals will have nested in it by then,
im telling the truth when i say that i was smiling, not like a huge grin but i was smiling, its just so hard to see my mouth.
COFFEE HOUSE GIGS RULE!

Is that a Yamaha SG2000S in green ? I used to have one and really kick myself for letting it go, they are one of the most underated guitars ever.

Its a black SG1000 from 81',yeah,the sustain is unbelievable,too bad the weight is too..

Now on a DVD cover from a festival in Germany, that's with Joe Sun and Dado (from Golspie) in the background.

What is it with this Tele players 'lurch' when the left shoulder dips ?

Wow, that's a long concert..1985-2007 ! Long time since I spoke to Dado. He has always looked up to me, but there again he looks up to everyone from the bar floor :lol:

<---------- That´s me right there!

Hmmm, been on here long enough to show my face I guess. I don't have one of me playing I don't think, people are normally too busy putting their fingers in their ears to be able to press the shutter button.

This would be me then, grinning but not picking....

I take my job very seriously. And yes, I do look stupid (my tie isn't straight).

Oh, and I hasten to add that I have lost some weight since this was taken (ladies I am currently available).

I keep thinking I'll get one of me with the Tele but it just hasn't happened so here I am with my Snowcaster and winter fur.

I have several tele's and have been playing them for 40 years now. when my youngest son started playing guitar I bought him a $140 Epiphone SG. After he seem to stick with it we went to get him his first real guirat for christmas and it was an American Strat with 3 tone burst. I have to tell him not to buy the goth guitar that everyone was selling. Told him to get on that he will keep for the rest of his life. Strat is was.

A year ago he picked up my american tele delux with the strat pickup in the middle and phase switch. He decided to go tele all the way. This is him in the picture. I would also mention that his band is very big in our area and after a couple thousand kids saw him playing metal/screamo with a tele everyone seems to switch. Anyway - this is my guy. My other son is the drummer in the same bad. 15 years old and hooked on tele's -

Billy Bob's House Band backing Chuck Berry.. early 80'shttp://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y221/z06pdq/chuckberry.jpg

I'm the center guy playing the fine looking toilet seat instrument. It is dubbed the "TeleCrapper" ..my total investment in that instrument (I hesitate to call it a guitar) is around $30. Got the neck for a dollar at a musician's flea market, the toilet seat cost me $5 at a hardware store, and the rest came out of my junk box. It has a Dimarzio pickup and no tone control. It does have a "More" switch tho.. The finish is sparkle from an art store, mixed with Envirolite, which is a two part epoxy finish. Rough as 40 grit sandpaper but looks good under the stage lights..

My dad built 5 toilet seat guitars and we did one bass. Three of them were built for Sam Ash emplyees after they saw the original (built around 1980).

Here's me about 5 years ago with the bass:

Looking good, Chris... looks as tho your dad used a bigger plank to back the toilet seat. Yours probably has better (or more) tone than mine. Great gag, though. My favorite line when using mine is "Liberace just called and wants his toilet seat back"....

For the guitars he used the lid as a back, the bass needed an extended bowl and a wood back to make it work. They're surprisingly cool, the best is when you go on break and someone sticks a roll of TP on your amp.

Nice looking Tele, what's the details on that one ?

As Steve Earle said a long time ago...."I gotta keep rockin' while I still can...."

As Steve Earle said a long time ago...."I gotta keep rockin' while I still can...."

Is that Leo Fender's signature on the body ?

Any from some of you new members who have joined lately ?

Indeed! great idea for a thread...

well since this made it into my intro thread, I may as well stick it here too:

taken mere hours after my first tele - an '08 AmStd - arrived, I'd been off in my own world wondering around playing it (unplugged towards the end as it was approaching midnight and we live in an apartment) and was not expecting someone to jump out at me with a camera..

Scotland,

Yes, it's Leo's "signature"....it's a signature series Asat that G&L put out around twenty years ago....unfortunately, it's a decal! Wish it was the real deal!

Yeah, they are sweet.. And I don't mind the mini-buckers, I don't play the guitar that much as its on the heavy side of 10lbs and just a pretty piece of investment art in my eyes.. if I want a real gibby sound I'll go for my SG or my Robot ;)

And thanks for the welcome, too :)

I'm on the left... I see Bill Frisell is on the right of the picture. He is my favorite guitar player. I saw him in Buffalo Ny 3 weeks ago, right up front! I met him briefly after the concert, and was very friendly. Dennis McCarthy

Nothing too exciting. Just a bald head and an Esquire...

How coincidental is that ??
That's the beauty of this thread, a number of people have recognised each other on it.

WHAT ???, i keep finding old photo's and i don't even recognise myself !!

This must be very early 80's with a songwriter/singer called Don Lee, great singer and greater player, he turned me on to some ancient recordings of Jimmy Bryant ---- then proceeded to play some of them -- smart a** !

I just look like a reject from a porn film !.......

Dang it you know you are right Telemarkman !!!

I was part of the Roger Humphries band and after we had toured with Don (UK, Europe, USAF bases) we hit the road with Dick Damron from Canada and then had a short break to learn the show for Wendel Adkins, you have a better memory than me but thats how i would have looked i guess -- thats scary !!

That night in Oslo i played the support slot with Roger & band then the headliner (Wendel) as part of his band, i tell you -- that tour was hard work but 100% fun from start to end, a lot of miles covered and a few more wrinkles and grey hairs too, but that was just the Hjemme brent !
:lol:

This was from that tour ......

It was a great show until "Henki" (that crazy Outlaws' boss) started to fill Wendel's glass with some strong stuff ..... After that it wasn't quite the same, I guess :oops: Hee, hee!

Thore Henki Holm Hansen, now there's a name you don't forget in a hurry !

He was one of the nicest and most helpful folk to Sandra and I when we first got out to Norway to live, yes, i know all the stories but to us he was always the nicest.
I remember he opened Ben-Thor imports in Oslo and was importing Harley's from the 50's and 60's from the US, oh boy there was some beautiful machines there.
I did a little recording with him too, errrrrr, his voice was 'unique' i guess you could say.
He wanted me to come over and play the 'Highwaymen' gig in Oslo too but i couldn't get out of the work i had here so had to miss it, that's always been a regret not to meet those guys and now of course it's too late for some of them.
This is a great pic of THHH .......

Henki sure was a man with two faces. And yes, he could be a real nice guy :cool: ...

*Nervously looks over shoulder ........................*

Okay, okay, I give in.
Me at work, we were not allowed to bring musical instrument underground otherwise I'd be playing my tele. Could you imagine the natural (unnatural reverb???). I actually think your supposed to wear safety glasses, a hard hat, hearing protection and not smoke either. Oh well some rules are made to be broken.

Okay, okay. Me taking the tour at Sun Studio. They had a Tele laying around similar to my 52RI and my son snapped a photo.

Oh, all right then - me with my friend's '66 Tele, formerly owned by Albert Lee. (He was repairing mine and lent this one to me in the mean time...nice friend, I know!)
