No. 12-020509 Telstar
Great 60's style tele tone using Mick Brierley's Bakersfield Tele pickup set. The guitar weighs in at a friendly 3.2kg [7lb] The rhythm pickup matches the output of the bridge pickup creating a beautiful chiming tone. The middle positions gives great jangly rhythm sounds. The bridge is muscular with an incandescent biting tone. All round a great guitar to play. This one was is the twin of Lucky No. 13. I sprayed it my favourite custom colour, put the new Bakersfield pickups in as a test bed for them and it made guitar magic. One great sounding guitar.

"This bloody thing is just amazing. I prefer humbuckers, finding single coils a bit thin but not this baby. Just beautiful. Got rid of a nice Japanese strat `cause it sounded crap next to Telstar."
