QUO TELLY
made for Rick Parfitt (Status Quo). After getting the
chance of closely to inspect his No.1 Telecaster.
He plays the most heavy set of strings I´ve ever used:
0.14 - 0.58 ! Thats why Rick did put the stop
tailpiece on his old Tele.
The Standart bridge just can´t handle the force of his
playing ability. Therefore I reinforced the neck with carbonfibre rods.
The Bridge pickup is a killer (he just plays the bridge
pickup). I love this one myself, it´s the ultimate Rock´n Roll rythm
guitar.
