I've never played teles much but Bill (Seaking) lent me his for a couple of weeks. He bought this from Curt some time back. This is a nice one; very light weight, big, soft V-neck and an Antiquity at the bridge. It's actually a partsacaster (Warmoth neck and Allparts body I think). I love it. It sustains forever, you can hear the wood, and I've never been one for big necks but I like this. Anyway, I did a sample take on a bluesey backing track using an HBE compressor into an Eternity and some delay into my Maz 18. Have a listen. It's a pretty big sound for a tele, I think. www.soundclick.com/bands/page_songInfo.cfm?bandID=710085&songID=6108711Here's Stella on my Eastman 803. I like the sound I got on this too. www.soundclick.com/bands/page_songInfo.cfm?bandID=710085&songID=6071352

That is a VERY special Tele. Very much captures the vibe of an oldie, a '56 is what it always reminded me of....shoulda kept it !!!
Now I shall listen Gary............Glad you have some time with that Guitar, if all Tele's were that good there would be no need for anything else.

Thanks for listening guys and for the generous comments. This is a "VERY special Tele" as Curt says. I posted some clean tones a la country style for those who want a laugh in another thread (garyh playin' country? ). Anyway, along with the Maz, this even makes me almost sound like a country picker. Now I have to wrangle one of my own somehow.

WOW !!!
Gary you've really pushed that Tele to another level man. I really enjoyed your playing and the tones you were getting, especially the growling low notes. Didn't think you could get those on a Tele.
Way to go.

Brotha, I've listened to this clip at least a dozen times. You really need to be gigging so others could listen to it as well. It's way to good for basement jamming. Bill out.

Thanks for the encouragement Bill. I'd like to be playing out but finding the right guys to do the stuff I want to do is tough and I don't want to give up the jazz thing. Also, Avery wants his dad around on the weekends. There's never enough time to do the stuff we want to do. BTW, here's a jazz tune I did too. Love the sound of the Eastman on this; Stella by Starlight: www.soundclick.com/bands/page_songInfo.cfm?bandID=710085&songID=6071352

The funny thing is that while everyone is going nuts over that awesome Tele tone, I'm secretly drooling over that Killer Eastman jazz box. Man that thing is one of those "sounds in my head" that I've always wanted.
Doesn't ol' Ed Roman carry these?
