My #1 Tele is one I put together from parts. With a low-wind P90 in the neck and a Cavalier Fat Lion in the bridge, I love its sound in all 3 positions. With a lightweight ash body and a 50s Road Worn neck, it weighs 7 lbs even.

Didn't know this club was here. I LOVE my 50s Road Worn Telecaster! Years ago I had tried a couple and was not too impressed. I tried a few American Professionals as well, wanting to buy one but not in love with the necks on those. Then I went into a small mom and pop shop near where I live...

I can only think of one time I ran into that issue. I once auditioned for an understudy gig for the off-Broadway country rock musical, Pump Boys and Dinettes. I was disqualified from understudying one of the Dinettes due to my sex, not that I would have wanted to. I got hired to understudy one...

A full 8 bars of it starting at 1:19, more at the fade.

I'd have a cuppa with EC. Neither of us would be having a "drink". His work over the decades has been a big influence and inspiration to me, and many other players that I admire.

I totally DO agree, and couldn't resist posting a couple of pictures. My most played Strats for both stage and studio have been these two. Added power when needed, more tonal possibilities, and dead silent - even with long cables and venues with dirty power or fluorescent lights. 1986 '62...

Beautiful job!

Supply and demand, I imagine.

I agree, though you might get away with it if you're Jimi Hendrix in his professional environment.

I'd have to say a Strat, but one with active electronics. A Clapton, or a vintage-style Strat with EMG SAs with SPC mid boost both fit the bill for me. Very versatile guitars with many voices, from clean to mean, and no noise.

Still like my old AD-9 Love my DM-2

Ditto!

I've posted a picture in several other threads, but...why not again, right? It's my favorite partscaster and has these parts: MJT body - lightweight swamp ash with universal neck pickup route Fender 50s Road Worn neck low-wind (6.48k) P90 neck pickup Cavalier Fat Lion bridge pickup...

I haven't been to a Subway since I got my first "Pub Sub" at the Publix around the corner from me. I get a foot long with Boar's Head meats and cheese, on fresh baked 5 grain Italian, and dress it up with what amounts to a decent size salad. One half now, the other tomorrow - two satisfying...

Nice job. Wear her out!
