Classic Rock on my new Silver Sparkle Tele

tonedr · July 3rd, 2008, 11:09 AM

RS Guitarworks built this guitar for me and I'm really pleased with it. It has a Fralin bridge PU and a Fralin Greg Martin humbucker in the neck. I can split the neck PU to get a more traditional tele tone if wanted. It is a Buckcaster with some relic work. I'm having a great time playing with my son, using a Headstrong Lil King here. Thanks for watching, dale.

Sounds excellent, always liked that song. Nice lite grind. how fun is that to play with your son? Mine jambs with me on his violin when he visits form IA, so I know cool&how fun that is. ;)

EDIT: I forgot to say, 'drooling..' over the sight of your silver sparkle Tele

Good job - both in the pocket. I had six kids and only one plays an ( piano) instrument, but it sure is fun when we do some music togther. I'd say your boy is well on his way.

Very cool video! Glad that you can jam with your son, sounds like he has the makings of a great drummer!

Really liked the tone of your guitar, sounds like they did a great job building it for you. Any info on your amp/effects settings? Sounds really great! Hope you get to enjoy a lot of music with that drummer son of yours!!

thanks for watching and I appreciate your kind words! I run the amp on about 4 with the treble boosted a bit, a little reverb and the bass about the middle of its range. It has a 12" speaker, best of all it's small and light!

Thanks again, dale.
