"This is my Tele. There are many like it, but this one is mine. My Tele is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it, as I must master my life. Without me, my Tele is useless. Without my Tele, I am useless. I must play my Tele true. I must play straighter than my enemy, who is trying to kill me. I must play him before he plays me. I will. Before God I swear this creed. My Tele and myself are defenders of my music. We are the masters of our enemy. We are the masters of our enemy. We are the saviors of my life. So be it....until there is no enemy, but peace. Amen."
