Muppet Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Ooooohh Tele Custom! Would love one of these to go with my Deluxe. Wonderful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary mac Posted February 20, 2017 Author Share Posted February 20, 2017 Thanks gents. It does play really well, the pick ups are sweet. The keyboard warriors who constantly tell us how awful the Fender output was in the seventies, would have to eat their words if they were to have a play on this one. I will give it a proper set up and a new set of D'Addarios in the next day or two and then just enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was playing my old 75 P bass earlier and that is another really, really good one. Light weight, resonant, punchy pups and all very nicely put together.

skankdelvar Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 (edited) That's just about [i]exactly [/i]the Tele Custom I'd like. Natural finish, Strat-type pot knobs and (probably) the straight italic 'custom' logo. A Mick Green job, in other words.

Fit and finish were fine, it was / is probably the best sounding guitar I have ever owned. Sadly long gone - pxd against one of Mr Hall's basses remain unmentionable.

GuyR Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 I couldn't resist a tele purchase in December. I had a 66 sunburst in the early 80s. Long gone. Now have a 66 in blonde. Even better and very hard to put down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
