fender telecaster. year: 1983. color: yellow/creme. got this back in the summer of 1993. my friend/now guitar player aaron tap and i went to mr. music in allston, MA where i traded my first guitar (a K-shaped, candy apple red ibanez) to get this one. a few years ago, i had the folks at gary brawer’s shop (my heroes) set it up and replace the neck pickup with a lollar. sounds and plays better than ever. you can hear it in action on the song ‘vandalized,’ on my record “not colored too perfect.”
