The Telecasters

View fullsize

1984/85 was a great time for Telecasters. Made in Japan meant exacting re-issues of some timeless classics. Pictured here are first year runs of my all time favorites. The Telecaster Deluxe has a double bound body and Sunburst finish loaded with Duncan’s and a Guitar Fetish Pre-Amp. The Blue Floral has a Tremor Bender B/G string bender (works extremely well) and EMG Tele set. The Paisley is all original. No guitars were harmed during the installation of the above modifications!

I’ve always had a passion for the Fender Strat Plus.  I collect the first  few years of this model — 1987 through ’89. It was  based on the Jeff Beck Signature guitar. This Strat was preferred by Eric Clapton, David Gilmore ,Steve Winwood and Robert Cray (good company!). Cool colors, great pickups (Lace Sensor Golds), an all-American bargain. First year dates as E4 (1984) though the guitar was not produced until 1987. Pictured here are Strat Pluses in Coral, Bahama Green, Pewter and Shell Pink.  Since this photo, I’ve added a Seafoam Green.  Still searching for Graffitti Yellow and Powder Blue; then I’m done, I swear …
