Keith Urban "Clarence" tribute build - 40th anniversary telecaster

Thanks man!

 

I'm out of state right now and will be til the end of the week, sorry for the extremely long delay!

 

Thanks! No I didnt. I know the 40th tele has one but I figured Keith put a different pickguard on it when he added the middle pickup at one time. I don't know that for a fact, I just assumed.

 

I dont. I've actually never seen another on any guitar other than the 40th.

 

Thanks! Yeah I agree, when I ordered the pickguard it looked more cream in the pictures. I was disappointed when it came in but I figured it would do for now. I may try to find a different one at some point soon. I still need to put the other saddles on too, but I'll wait until it needs its first string change before I do that

 

I finally recorded a little 2 minute video so you can see how it sounds. My phone ran out of storage space at a bit after the 2 minute mark so it cut off, but it's better than nothing I suppose. Keep in mind that I'm a relatively new player and still learning, so ignore the mistakes. I hope this video does the guitar justice, it may not sound that great having been recorded on my phone.

Thanks man! It was a pretty simple build once I found someone to build the body how I wanted it

 

I appreciate it! And I'm happy with it, I think it sounds great

 

The video doesn't do it justice, it sounds better in person. You have a great pickup on the way! I played through a Dr. Z Maz 8 watt amp. I played clean with a bit of reverb at the start of the video (first part of Liza Jane solo) and then kicked in some delay towards the middle. Towards the end when I started a bit of improv I think I kicked in the Brent Mason Hot Wired pedal for a little overdrive. Might should have used some slapback delay and my compressor for the first part of the video but oh well!
