1972 Fender Telecaster Thinline
&
Fender Hot Rod "De Ville"
all tube amp with 2 x 12" speakers

Modifications to Tele:-

Di Marzio solid brass bridge saddles

Original Fender humbucking pickups became noisy & microphonic over time, so I replaced them with a Di Marzio 'Tone Zone' in the bridge position, & a Di Marzio 'PAF Pro' in the neck position. The old Fender pickup sounded slightly better than the PAF but it became unusable on stage.

Both pickups have switches for single coil option and I have a phase switch on the neck pickup.

I bought this guitar new in early 1973. I have had it refretted once. I have never played a guitar I liked better for overall sound and playability. Only my old '62 Strat came close, and I'd still like that back from whoever took it.
