*YOU* rocking a Tele

[zenmindbeginner]

Dang. You’re good.

You are too kind good sir. I’m originally a thrash metal player so learning country style/writing a bunch of riffs, links and pieces took me several weeks.

I haven’t played guitar this past year so I am currently insanely rusty though.

Fender Custom Shop Custom Classic. Unassuming with modern bridge yet non-gigantic frets truss rod at the nut not butt and 4 way toggle. Delightful.
Delivering the goods at the Marx Cafe in DC:

This was probably 1991 or '92 and it might have been at either FM Station or Coconut Teaser as we played both a few times...or somewhere else around L.A.
That's a 1967 Telecaster that I bought from a guy for $100. It was pretty beaten up and badly routed for a neck humbucker, but I got it back into shape and played a few gigs with it before selling it for a decent profit.
I've always wondered where it is now...

My first good guitar (an old photo). Late 60s Tele. My first guitar was a Raven (Chinese) Tele copy.

How cool would this be if this is the same Tele!?!

Tele Special w/Phat Cat neck PUP. I love this guitar.

 

[Tomi JR]

Beautiful! Thank you.

Thanks so much, really glad you liked it!

I'm probably breaking more than a few standard "rules" here; but we did have some fun at this gig and connected with some lasting friendships...

Last night, with my new Richie Kotzen Tele...

Me and some other guy whose name escapes me.

Supporting the band Citizen in Lima a handful of years ago.
The Tele is gone and so are the shoes - still got the shirt.
I miss playing out.

Used the Tele

@stevieboy , you still like teles?

@Rick Towne plays them backwards teles !

I retired from gigging about 10 years ago. Here's a pic from the last gig.

 

[Analog Delay]

Playing my 2000 American Standard Tele in Aqua Metallic back in 2017.

Like an idiot, I sold it.

Sorry about the shorts: It's our yearly August outside Brew 'n' Shoe jam with close friends/family. No paying customers to impress with my duds.

I appreciate when somebody is willing to admit they wear shorts on stage sometimes.

Not a great shot of the Tele but opening for Hank Williams, Jr. in Buena Vista, NJ c. 1983.

What’s wrong with shorts?
Dimebag would like a word!

Yes, I do like Teles still. But I play a couple of Gibsons mostly now, 335 and P90 Goldtop LP.

Funny, when I saw this thread I looked around my server pics and couldn't find anything of me playing one.

But I did come across this one--

EDIT: I guess I should point out that on the red Tele is LarryR, who I was responding to after he put up a pic of me from maybe the same day, and on the blue one is TGPer Mark Robinson.
