The 3 Amigos

Three Telecasters

The blonde heavily customised one is not vintage - it’s early 70’s but there’s not much of the original left. It’s got a Parsons-White B-Bender and both Strat and Tele pick-up configurations. This one used to live in Austin.

Cedric Thorose used the same configurations for the wine coloured Tele made for my use in Europe.

The Paisley is the real thing - don’t ask, in fact don’t even look at this one and definitely DON’T TOUCH IT. It’s very very twangy.
Class of ‘63

The Cherry Jazzmaster I actually bought new in ‘63 - yes, I really am that old. For a few years it was my only guitar.

I picked up the Bass VI in Voltage Guitars in LA while trawling the guitar shops with old buddy “Chicken Leg” Evans.

Less exotically, I got the Electric XII in Luton.
Double Neck

Super customised - made to measure - double neck. Put together by Pete Griffin, who used to be the guitar fixer upper at Unisound in the Kilburn High Road. It’s got six Seymore Duncan pick-ups, gold fittings, a B-Bender in the six string neck, maple necks, power steering and disc brakes. And it’s well heavy, know what I’m sayin’, man?
