Tribute to one of the greatest Tele players the world has ever known.
If you have never heard "Redneck Jazz Explosion" from Danny Gatton, than you don't know what you are missing.
They didn't call him the greatest unknown guitarist for nothing. Tragically, he killed himself in the mid 90's.

The MIM Strats are very good. Mine plays very well. Trash the pup's, though and install Seymour-Duncan's or DeMarzio's and you get a real screamer.

Hey you tele guys... Don't know how many of you know about www.tdpri.com but it is the world wide home for everything telecaster. Great folks and info, history, discussion, tele nitty gritty, the works...
You will have to register and obey the ground rules (no religion, no politics, no cussin') but the TDP is a great web community of tele stranglers...

This is a welcome thread. Quite frankly politics sucks lately and guitars are a welcome solice. I have 5 guitars but if money were no object...i would have an Olson. At least I would order one as the backlog is years and they are made in America.

It is amazing how many guitarist (or people who claim to be) have never heard of Danny Gatton.
I first saw him on Austin City Limits. My jaw almost hit the floor.
Perhaps his best recorded performance is "Redneck Jazz Explosion" recorded at the Cellar Door in Washington DC, in 1978.
The lineup includes Buddy Emmons, who is without a doubt, the worlds greatest pedal steel guitarist. My first taste of the recording was "Rock Candy". I did not know who was in the lineup, nor did I have a clue that there was a pedal steel player in it. Buddy Emmons uses (I'm guessing here) a compressor and a leslie or chorus, but it sounds kinda like a B3 organ on acid. I had no idea at the time, that a pedal steel player could play that fast, with precision chops. Perhaps my favorite tracks are "Song of India" and "Coming Home" of which anyone who claims to play guitar will either be inspired or severely depressed after they hear it.
Unbelievable!

Chuckling... I bought my Gretsch in 1964, regular utility acoustic.. It's the last guitar I ever bought. Still playing it. The Martins I have tried since are faster and brighter, but the Gretsch has grown old with me like a broken-in pair of shoes.

"Quite frankly politics sucks lately and guitars are a welcome solice." Much Agreed!

By the way...a side from my FP460-SC Takamine.. I got a fat strat and a Fender P-J bass. All American made...all pure sweetness!
Did you happen to check out the Ethernet version Gibson line that hit the news lately?
I'll take an analog git ANY DAY..
To: lormand
What kind of guit-boxes? OK
a 66 Gibson, 78 Yamaki, 63 Harmony, 95 Epiphone and a 67 Gibson 4 string tenor guitar. I first learned to play on the 63 Harmony in 1966. It was a second hand Sears Roebuck which I payed $50 for. :o)

I own a Takamine EF-508C. For pluggin' in, it's awesome. Great sound. Feels great in my hands. Love it. But I needed a nice fat dreadnought for pickin' fiddle tunes on. Here's a Tak just like mine

i got a 1961 Gibson SG,Ibanez AX70 and a Fender Tele
the SG is my dad's and the tele is too but there at my disposal for shows
teles are excellent for slide guitar..granted im a crappy slide player
To: banjo joe
I've got a fantastic MIA Tele from the early '90s, as well as a Made in Japan '66 Strat RI and a Made in Japan '69 Thinline Tele RI. Those old MIJs are great guitars for the money. I also have a MIM P-Bass that flat out rumbles. I love Fenders, but the crown jewel of the stable is my Rick 330/12.
To: Willie Green
I was afraid your post was going to say the entire operation was leaving Nazareth. Thankfully, the finest instruments will still be made there.
I gave my son my 1969 D-18 for Christmas. He thought it was the best gift ever, and has been playing it exclusively over his other guitars since then.
