Hello everyone, I've been playing guitar for over 30 years........most of those years on a heavily modded 1977 Fender Telecaster. Can ya guess where my name came from?:thwap: I did the whole "road" thing back in the late 70's thru the 80's, or should say untill I got married! I've still got that same old Telecaster and various other gear and pretty much just do studio stuff and the gun for hire stuff a few times a year.

Thanks for letting me in.
 
Welcome Teleman ! nice to have you here.
Let's hear more about that Tele, maybe a picture or 2 ?

Thanks guys. I haven't seen any photos on the site so far.
Do you just post links or can you post the images?
Some site are a little picky with the whole bandwidth issue.
 
Nevermind, I figured it out............setting in userCP.:thwap:

Here's a couple of pics of my old beat up tele..........or at least whats left of it. She's a 1977 Tele that I bought in 1981. I had a custom made Chandler neck with a Schaller Scruggs tuner on the low E installed, EMG pickups, Schaller bridge and all graphite nut and string trees. Like I mentioned before, she's not even remotely stock.......but I can't find another guitar I like better, and I've owned a LOT of guitars!

Meet "Grandma"......

Welcome Teleman! Nice to have you. I saw in the pic thread you musta figured out the photos. If you haven't seen a lot of photos, you haven't seen some of Brian Krashpad's gig threads! (example one: http://www.thefret.net/showthread.php?t=3747) :D ;) (we love them Brian, I couldn't find the link to your guitar face post, that was the one i really wanted.)
 
love the name grandma!....great pics and don't apologize about the pj's....plaid is where it's at!! :bravo: :pancake:

Yeah, a Tele is the only way to go. I've ownd EVERY type of guitar there is and for just sheer versatilty, you can't beat a Telecaster.

I play everything from Jazz to Blues to Rock to Country and the Tele does it all.


Twang on, Brothers and Sisters!
 
Welcome to the gang. Great bunch of people.

Terrific pics. Good guitar face. :D
 
Welcome to The Fret, Teleman77! From your MySpace page, I see you like to do the Danny Gatton beer bottle thing on your Tele. Just keep the foam outta your amp!! :eek: ;)
 
You could say I'm a bit of a Gatton freak. Funny thing is, I was doing the beer bottle slide thing LONG before I discovered Danny........but he sure as hell did it right!

And, the beer bottle never gos NEAR my Supersonic.
:beer:

Yeah, it's pretty good, and that's not even one of his better ones!
I have all of Danny's albums and I don't think he made a bad one.


And thanks again guy's for the warm welcome........keep it up and I may never leave.

Now If there was only free beer and wings.:D

Yessir, we are!:) I used to head to the Lincoln/Omaha area years ago when a local band of ours played there. The Henry Doorly zoo is pretty awesome,too.

Out of curiosity, what was the name of the band?
 
"Blackwater" ...... they were mostly top 40 type........ keyboard, sax, guitar, bass, drums, and pretty good vocals to boot. The members lived around Rockport, MO, but played up your way 'bout once a month, I think.
