I always wanted a Telecaster. Maybe one day - then my collection will be complete. Well, maybe not.

You can hear a lot of Roy in this tune.

Oh yes, some borrowed pulls, hammers and maybe not quite enough overtones?

Joe's a joy, but he's turning that out through effects boxes as opposed
to straight Tele and fender amp.

Roy was just so freaking clean.

And speaking of clean:

Danny was the true master. Roy was awesome, but Danny was faster.
Hard to decide who was better.

Check this guy out. He's using a MIM Tele, jes like mine:

He's a talented youngster but nothing beats the original by Dire
Straits. It was a Fender Stratocaster, not a Telecaster

Yes it was!

Knopfler is a master as well.

And that patented Strat quack is so unique.

Enough so that the Tele is now built with a 5 position switch and 3 pickups:

My one beef is the lack of a rosewood fretboard which warms the tone
significantly.

That's the kids for you. They're the product of their generation. Roy was a product of the 50's. He controlled his sound with the volume control of his Tele and his hands. Bless his little heart.

The Tele is so basic, so robust yet effective, it's like one of those
Soviet Ural motorcycles - still standing the test of time....

Now I return to a video I've posted before which says it all on the Tele
and how to maximize it's pseudo-pedal-steel sound:

The ashtray was to shield the bridge pickup from stray electromagnetic radiation. Most people just took that off when they got their Tele and then lost it. Those old Teles had a crude, primitive, look to the bridges because all that was supposed to be hidden.

The pedal steel trick is easy on a Tele because of the location and shape of the volume pot knob. I used to do it with my Firebird. It's not easy because of the location and shape of the volume pot knob. That was quite a stretch.

Nice lick! It's cornball yet cool. Those are great...

The sheer simplicity of those early bridge saddles was stunning. I have heard that Fender was able to form several neck and fretboard from a single 7 1/4" log. I don't know if that was true or not but that would be amazing too. The truth of it was the Leo Fender changed the world of music and lifted it out of the dark ages.

And even as a Les Paul fan I will 100% agree with you there!

A lowly lap steel hybrid became a new tool.

My friend was talking about Bobby's guitar playing about a half hour ago. I was working on my ceiling fan and my friend was helping me. That guy just constantly talks. He said that Bobby is the best guitar player on the island and can play any style. Other than that I have no idea what else he said cause I was trying to get that damn fan off. People shouldn't be talking to me when I'm trying to do stuff.

It's getting hard for me to get on the ladder - my whole body is getting weak. That's shocking! Now I have to epoxy some lead anchors to the ceiling. I have to rest up and picture how I'm gonna do it.

The pickups were made by Gibson for their V2 guitar. There's not much to see because the coils were embedded in black epoxy. What I've read is that the pickup consists of two short single coils wired in parallel with reverse polarity. One coil is for the treble strings and the other is for the bass. This results in a pickup with low noise and low output.

I don't like that at all - no box, no stud or truss, mere wall anchors?

Regardless, very cool project.

I almost never see V2's, and I mean NEVER.

And yeah the sound is unusually bluesy for what visually screams metal rock.

Neat video.

The ceiling is concrete. What's holding up the fan is lead anchors epoxied into some holes. That sucks but that's what we come up with.

The S-1 single coil pickup is a neat pickup. The boomerang pickup is more like a Les Paul low-impedance pickup in that the black epoxy hides the inner coil configuration. The epoxy probably keeps the pickup very resistant to developing microphonics but more importantly, it keeps what's inside a mystery and adds to its mystique. OTOH, it wouldn't be difficult to find out how the coils are arranged and what kind of magnets are in there. All you need is some iron filings. I'll just add that to my list of projects.

Wow, a genuine concrete ceiling!

You'd have to find a prison here for one of those, lol!

I'm real nervous about lead anchors - but epoxy yes!

Pretty to look at, but man do they yellow with age.

The boomerang pickup is more like a Les Paul low-impedance pickup in
that the black epoxy hides the inner coil configuration. The epoxy
probably keeps the pickup very resistant to developing microphonics but
more importantly, it keeps what's inside a mystery and adds to its
mystique. OTOH, it wouldn't be difficult to find out how the coils are
arranged and what kind of magnets are in there. All you need is some
iron filings. I'll just add that to my list of projects.

Lol, OK then, no rush but I'll be intrigued with the findings, er filings...

I have a couple of Alumitone pickups that I'm looking to fit on a guitar. These things are like the holy grail of pickups: low noise, low impedance, high output, extended frequency range. Too bad most people don't like how they sound. I'm rather ambivalent about them myself.

I wish I could hear them.

But here's a taste:

Boy, that Pignose amp sounds crappy.

My favorite pickup is the P90. The Alumitone is probably the most revolutionary pickup design since electromagnetic pickups were invented but I'd rather have a pickup that was designed in the 40's. That's rather queer.

Oh that's so smoooooth!

But those are fender amps, yes?

Oh heck yes.

The P90 soapbars!

So harmonics friendly.

I dig a lot of the Seymour Duncan reissues and classic stuff.

But here's a cool A:B humbucker vs P90 test.

A lot lower register in the hummers.
