There's a thread on the Les Paul Form that just kicks!
The boys are posting their old/beat/well loved gold tops.
Can we try it here?
Step up.
Post your old tele/strat/mustang.
Best regards,
Brian

Not mine, but from an old issue of Guitar Player Magazine:
I actually got to play Bill's guitar at this last NAMM. Man does it feel like down home! Quite a gracious guy as well.
This one...

and Bill Kirchen's would seem to be the ultimate road dog Teles.

Anyone still got the pic for that "roasted" tele which inspired the TFF Tele?
Here's another road warrier ... this was John Beland's tele that went around the globe a few times and was played on many records ... currently owned by me. it has one of the first Parson b-benders (#21).
Did that one come from Pittsburgh???? I think I've played her...
My undersanding on the history of that guitar is that it was in Pittsburgh at one point (for sale, I believe). Beland, the original owner (well, not quite -- see below) got it back and then sold it to (I believe) trade-it-in music (Fla). Originally it belonged to country-rock singer Larry Murray who gave it to Beland in the late 60s/early 70s.
That's exactly right sbklein. Bernie Leadon apparently used to play it before he joined the Eagles and John Beland would borrow it from Larry all the time ... when John's '52 got stolen Larry gave this guitar to John since he had borrowed it so many times he felt he might as well have it.
That's the one! I recall that she sounded really sweet, glad she is in good hands.
Thanks! Yes, I can see why it was played as much as it was ... it is a great guitar.
buffalonick, I'll take each and every one.
Yeah, me too! I don't think Keith would be too happy about letting them go...........as he plays them at every gig The Stones play!

Elwood Blues: No, ma'am. We're musicians.
Dude, where did they find those things? Looks like someone excavated them from an Egyptian archeological dig!

They (pics) were posted last year I believe. Seriously worn, no frets left in places on the blond. Looks like they came straight out of a shack on the Delta. Dig the hangin' hole drilled in the green one's headstock.

I want to see whats left of the amps.

I think I might be afraid to pick one of those things up; I'd be worried about catching some communicable disease! ;)

In an effort to keep the Titanic under 6 hours long, a scene where Leonardo DiCaprio paddles the young lass to safety atop a vintage tweed case was cut. He flings a Tele into the drink because he found that the tuners made it feel a bit awkward as an oar.

I don't know where they came from but it's not a stretch to imagine them as house guitars in a Mississippi juke joint. Left hanging on the wall, leaning in the corner or under the bar for anyone coming off the fields to sit in with.
Played hard by working hands and put up wet.
