NGD Fender Richie Kotzen Tele
« on: November 22, 2009, 03:03:44 PM »
It's got the fattest neck i've ever come accross, but it feels great. It needed a little fret dress and general set up once it arrived but nothing major. The Twang King and Chopper T Dimarzios sound quite nice actually, the tone control is not a tone control but a series parallel toggle. I've never been a Sunburst fan, so the Sea Foam Burst was the only other option.

That looks well wicked as I believe young people are apt to say these days when they gaze upon something that is well wicked.

+1 :lol:

Although I do prefer the sunburst version I like the tuner buttons on the sea foam.

That's certainly different!  Not sure if I personally like the looks, but have fun with it!

Congrats, that's a sweet guitar.

I've always liked Kotzen's tone, and there are some great touches on that sig model that really set it apart. I fancied one of these until I found out about the fat neck - I just know there's no way I'd be able to play it properly (small hands)!

Nice!  :D   I've often been quite tempted to get a Kotzen Tele, I'm a fan and I like his taste in guitars.

I must admit I never realised before that the Sea Foam one was a burst, I always thought it was a solid colour.

I saw Richie live a few weeks ago, and he had a new Tele, a prototype. He wasn't sure if it was going into production, in fact he seemed quite downbeat about it... if it was available I would've gone for that one.



Same specs but no scratch plate and a fantastic flame top, which you can't quite see in my cr@ppy photo!

Cool, where was that?

Any idea what that "ring" around the volume control on the prototype is?

The gig was the Robin 2 in Wolverhampton, great venue. The thing under the volume is something called N-tune... http://www.ntune.com/

I asked why not just have a tuner pedal? his response was something like, 'thats just another thing to plug in'. He's now a guitar straight into the amp guy.

Interesting!  I just had a look on their website, it looks like they'd be a right pain to install in the cavity of a Tele.

I saw Richie last Tuesday. He kicks so much ass, it's not possible to describe! His voice is as well top notch.

Great guitar, honoring an awesome musician.

Ah, but is that the right shade of Sea Foam Green?  I doubt it....
