When I was about 13 I saved money I made mowing lawns so I could buy an LP Jr that I had been drooling over at a guitar shop near where I lived. It became mine for $100 largely because it wasn't exactly getting a lot of eye traffic from anyone else and the shop owner knew I HAD to have it. My younger brother...who doesn't play any instruents at all...sold it because he needed cash and I was away from home for a while. I haven't been without a guitar since. Always a Tele but have had a few others come and go. I love guitars! Keep it comin', Tim!

@RockessentialTim 11 месяцев назад

They used to have them in the orphan bins for 150 bucks about 25 years ago. How times have changed. A few years back I bought a LP Special and its become my favorite guitar.

Great Stuff as Always Tim ! Thanks for keeping the great history of these great guitars alive ! I was always an old Telecaster Guy ! I had a Red Sparkle 1969 Maple Cap that used to belong to Buck Owens as well as a 1959 Top Loader Tele in Blonde finish. I also had a 1970 Rosewood Telecaster for a coupla years like George's Let it Be Telecaster. It weighed a ton but sounded great ! Really miss that one... Ah Well... The ones that got away... Happy New Year ! Keep "Em Coming ! Peace and Best, Rudy

Well done, Tim. One of my favorite custom-built guitar stories is from the late, great J.J. Cale. There is a RU-vid video of him playing and showing the guitar while explaining how he acquired it and customized it for maybe $50. The video probably dates from the late 1970s or early 1980s. Great stuff indeed....

Hi Tim, Rory Gallagher used a 1961 Fender Stratocaster , it was the first one to arrive in Ireland, Jim Conlon a member of the Royal Showband ordered it, he keep it for six months and traded it in to Crowleys music shop in Cork City, a few days later a 15 year old Gallagher saw it in the window and bought it on credit, he played it for the rest of his life, the guitar is owned today by his brother Dónal Gallagher .

Easily hands down the most iconic guitar is Eddie Van Halen’s Frankenstrat. If it ever went to auction, it would definitely sell for the most amount of money a guitar has ever sold for. I doubt Wolfgang would ever do that. At least he’s playing is and recorded on it for his new album coming out in a few days. A close second would be SRV’s guitar.

@RockessentialTim 11 месяцев назад

You might be right about Eddie's guitar. I would just add that Jimmy Page's 59 Les Paul might fetch a few bucks.

@larrypower8659 11 месяцев назад

Rob’s Tele appears to have the headstock decal of a ‘late ‘67 or a ‘68. I have a ‘68 with that decal and a rosewood board. It’s possible his Tele has a ‘50s body, pickups and hardware but a ‘68 neck. If it’s an ash body, it would be super lightweight.

Love the series to be!!!! What are your thoughts on reliced guitars? Thomas Raggi, the young guitarist from the Italian rock band, Maneskin, plays one. I feel pretty fortunate to have seen Van Halen on their 1980 World Invasion tour as a 14 year old. The only time I was up against the crush barrier for a concert. Great memory.

It takes years for a guitar to get some mojo. I have brand new guitars but they have no vibe. I have an old Tele and an old Strat that are just completely played in and they simply play better. I don’t think they sound any better but they sure play better. I’ve never liked LPs but I’d love a Jnr with a single P90. They are so cool!

@RockessentialTim 11 месяцев назад

For the most part, I would agree. There's something about a worn it guitar. But I have to say, in the very beginning of the vid I film the replica of the Jeff Beck 59 Telly in that guitar store. It was a Fender Custom shop model and off camera I got to play it and it was the nicest playing guitar I've played in quite awhile. If I didn't already have 15 guitars I would think about buying it---come to think of it I still might have to!

i think another "overlooked " guitarist is Lindsey Buckingham. his unusual finger picking style and his selection of notes often creates those Mystery Moments where our minds think we know what is coming and then we are completely surprised . Hendrix may be the ultimate expression of this idea but with the added feature of we don't even know what we are listening to let alone can guess what notes he will play next .🤪
