Greg Kihn playing a sunburst Fender Telecaster

[IMMusicRulz]

Though more well known for his biggest eighties hits, The Breakup Song and Jeopardy, Greg Kihn is also a skilled radio host up in San Francisco. But he’s also a good Telecaster player.

It has a rosewood fingerboard, so it might be a pre CBS Telecaster. He created some wonderful music in the eighties, and he just got finished touring with Rick Springfield. Greg also has played Rickenbacker, a Strat and a Vox 12 string, but it all started with the Telecaster!

Have not heard of him

Late 70's used to see him play in Berkeley.

My band opened for him years ago in the early nineties . I was shocked he was playing a local dive bar with some of the pretty well know songs he out there

 

[Killing Floor]

He is a solid entertainer. I saw him with full band and I also saw him do a solo set in a bar which was absolutely fun.

In a corner of my music room, a tribute of sorts (PGW repro)

I was supposed to see Greg & band open for Journey in 1982, but events transpired that we (me, the girl I was dating at the time, her best friend, and said best friend's boyfriend) missed the entire show. I heard Kihn's set and the first songs from Journey from the hallway of the arena before we had to leave to take the other girl home.
