famous tele players? I want a list
in one of these recent threads, somebody rattled off a nice long list of famous telecaster players
danny and roy something (just kidding, gatton and buchanan, I know) and a whole bunch of others...(james burton or something?) could somebody do this for me? I wanna do a massive tele listening spree with kazaa lite to prime me for my first tele purchase. (looking for a cheap ash-bodied tele, blonde or vintage white) I'm making a tele for christmas. what are the best pickups for the syd barrett tele sound? I think he played a 60's ash Esquire (rosewood)...somebody said a van zandt neck pu was almost identical to a 60s fender pickup in another thread...how about the bridge pickup? |

There's a lot of great names listed here. We'll certainly want to put Reggie Young on the list; session player extraordinaire and arguably one of the most recorded guitarists in history. Matt |
