I tracked the whole record on my ’69 Tele, which I’ve owned about as long as I’ve owned the Les Paul Custom. I’ve kind of arrived at that as my main guitar now. I’ve switched over from the Les Paul. It’s great, and I have a Seymour Duncan Little ’59 humbucker in it. I had a Hot Rails in it, and it was too hot, but the Little ’59 is just right. It breathes a little bit, and it can get very clean if you want it. It’s really responsive.
