Influences and Heroes






A Telecaster is what a solid-body electric guitar is. The others can try to hide it, but somewhere inside will be this square-sided plank of wood just waiting to come out.

Reading  from the top left:

My Hondo II Professional Telecaster clone. Barrel saddles, through-the-body stringing, original DiMarzzio pickups. My main electric until I branched out a bit in the last couple of years..

Detail of Fender Squire Standard Fat Tele and its metallic green finish.

Fender Nashville Deluxe Telecaster, a made in Mexico Telecaster with a Stratocaster style middle pickup and five-way switching setup.

The Fat Tele, straight up.

Washburn "Acoustitele" with piezo saddle pickups only.

My  '60s Kingston with "Imitation Tele Custom" mods I did myself. My first solid-body electric. This guitar was originally sold by either Montgomery Wards or Lafayette Electronics during the 60s. Neck pickup is a Gibson, bridge is a DiMarzzio.

The Fender Nashville Deluxe Telecaster. The pictures don't do justice to the candy red paint job and "tortoise shell" pickguard.

Leo got it right the first time.
