Examples of Other than Standard Telecasters

[chilipeppermaniac]

I was trying to keep my ears and eyes occupied while I had to be quiet for about 1.5 hours, SO I pulled up some new to me Youtube videos. Please post other examples of "different" Telecasters

On this live clip, Pat Travers is playing a 4 knob, Pickup selector in a Les Paul position, 1 bucker 1 single coil, Telecaster.

As always, Pat Rocks the Heck out of his playing. Nicko Mcbrain on Drums, and Mars Cowling on Bass. Haha, Check out that ENTHUSIASTIC GERMAN audience!!! Maybe German's were the test subjects for Prozac.

As Goo pointed out, the link won't go directly to play in here, Click it and then put cursor on youtube and watch it there.

Beautiful Telecaster DonP.I just noticed no fret markers on your Tele Don. Nice looking fretboard to.

Thanks! That's right - just side dots. They are all I can see when I play anyway.

BTW, I sacrificed one fret at the top to get a zero fret. It's got 21, not 22.

Very Nice, Don. 3 Pot controls, is it ASH body?

I think it's ash. And yes - the centre control is a six-way switch for choosing the value of the tone cap. Magic!

On certain guitars, I think a blank fretboard looks really good - a classical guitar, for instance.

I've never seen a Telecaster-style guitar with a blank fretboard. I think I actually prefer it to the dot inlays.

Oh well

Nice Magic bro Don. As to "oh Well" Don, I think Smitty was saying he prefers your dotless board over the typical dot ones.

Oops, my bad. I misread that last bit -sorry Smitty.

Somehow it keeps its nice Tele twang, but at the same time has some rich boom to it. Like this:

I hear it,,,,,,,

Oh and here is the 1st Non Fender Tele I ever heard in person.

I even found one of those Clash T shirts at my High School and wore it to shreds.

Ah well, humbuckers will always give you depth
