Brilliant

Great tones, feel, and value for money. I remember breaking a string at practice and picking up a custom shop tele that belonged to another guitarist, but the band said they’d wait while I changed the string. This sounded better.

One of the Telecasters of the gods

Great guitar - played scores of shows with it. Nice for more classic and traditional Tele music.

My favourite!

My number one guitar - in black with white scratchplate. It was cheap as it had fallen off the wall in the shop - I call it Jezabel as it looks fairly innocuous but can spit fire and flames very easily.
It has been set up by Mick Johnson (www.mickjohnson.com). I have the 4 position switch mod installed and a 22mf orange drop.
