Thank you. Yeah, the Spaceranger...the only other place I've seen one is the Austin Powers movies. I'm a total diva hotdog on stage, it's what my fanbase expects.

I am in your boat, man, I love love love Telecasters and Tele variants, they're my favorite guitars. You can do anything, any color, any accents, any woods, any pickup configs, to a Tele-style guitar and it'll still look and sound right. (You should show us some of yours!)

I think I own around seven or eight Teles? Here are a few in heavy rotation at the mo'

This is the short-lived Korean-made Blackout with Seymour Duncans, middle position is reverse polarity for that classic mid quack. These were made of balsa, but I don't think this one is, it's over 10 pounds. Got to be ash or mahogany. It is a two-knob Les Paul for all practical purposes, tone machine, very fast neck.




Similar to the Tele above, push-pull pot sends the PU's into single coil, versatile axe.



I built this ultra-traditional Tele with Warmoth parts. Tip of the hat to The Buckaroos.

It's loaded with Lace Chrome Domes, and wired with a 21 way switching config.
Just got some photos back from a gig we did recently:

I am a folk,roots songwriter and guitar player as well as bass in bands. I own a early 70's gibson J45/50 an early 80's EPI and a 71 Harmony archtone. I play more guitar at home just about everyday.Bass is for practices and gigs.

I've played guitar a lot longer than bass; always thought I should take it up, but never got around to it until about five years ago.

So, here's pix:

The High




and The Low



I am also a brand-loyal person. Could you guess? However, I played the Parker in a local originals band for about 10 years. Things got busy in all our personal lives, and we just kind of dissolved. These days, it's bass at church, with the occasional guitar fill-in as needed, often with guitar-synth to add another texture or missing instrument.

Whoa! That's an impressive stable. Very cool

Kind of lost track of the numbers (d'oh) but I think it's:

33 - bassbully
34 - Versatek6

will get a new list up soon.

(Nice guitar, Febs)
