Re: (TV) Just wood and wire: amp advice

Hi Rex. Sorry for the delay in getting back to you....I just got back 
from my honeymoon (in Reno!) and now , as they say, the honeymoon is 
over...but as to your query about my guitar. It's kind of an unusual 
tele. I am actually not certain it's a deluxe after all. The body is 
sunburst with a faux mother of peal pick-guard. It's definitely not 
stock as the pickups, whatever they were originally, consist of two 
coil-type ( lead and mid-range) and then a stock  front end pick up ( a 
total of three pickups) . No humbuckers here. What is most unusual about 
this guitar though is that it came with a b-bender installed. If you are 
not familiar with the b-bender - it's a little invention  by Gene 
Parson's (and Clarence White ) that mechanically bends the b string to 
emulate the sound of a pedal steel guitar. It's pretty cool though I 
have no idea how to use it so I haven't. I didn't buy the guitar for 
that purpose. It was just a pretty good deal at the time .  I love my 
tele even more than my strat though I actually play the strat more 
often. I happened to download some of your group's music by the way and 
really enjoyed it !
cheers,
Russ
