On paper this is a great idea… a mash up of a Tele and a Les Paul to create perhaps the perfect jack of all trades? But that’s also the problem for me - I love it but it’s too fussy. It fought me hard and while i wasn’t looking for trouble a copyright strike kept me up late re-cutting this one... 🤦‍♂️

The Guitaristas YouTube channel is fully independent of sponsorship, and supported/gifted products... it's all the thrills without the shills! 🎸But this content costs real time and a lot of money to make so my own way of raising a few extra $$ to fund the channel is via the subscription TV Channel at: https://theguitaristas.tv and I am very grateful to my growing army of loyal supporters there who help fund this content, make it possible, and keep it real. You know who you are. 🙏

I AM NOT AN EXPERT. Some things I do know and some things I don't know but think I know and sometimes I say things that are not entirely correct. Once I have said things it's too late to correct them so please check any 'so called facts' with an adult, google, wikipedia, or someone else that knows.

We run this channel to provide therapy for our gear addiction and for an excuse to buy more. Please like and subscribe and keep coming back to watch our films if you would like to support the channel!
