I'm not usually one for gold hardware, nor sunburst teles for that matter, but that does look rather tasty. (Especially against that door!)

Congratulations :D

My sentiments exactly actually, i usually like neither, but here they seem to work.

the door came with the flat so technically second hand, i believe it's a multipiece beech effort with a hand rubbed oil finish, so i imagine it's resonant as hell

That's really interesting you're the same on the colour scheme. I wouldn't rule out gold hardware either, if it was "right", and I've recently acquired a sunburst strat with maple fingerboard (I think it's the maple/sunburst that I'm not so sure about), and I kinda love that now...

If it's got a good tone, Wez could probably make you a couple of lapsteels out of it (the door, that is :D)

again odd you say that, because other than this guitar i'm not a gold hardeware person. as you say, on the right guitar. oddly enough here's 2 strats with gold hardware (happen to be kotzen strats) and they're gorgeous

Actually, yeah, it kinda works for me on those as well...

But if they were all in a room together though, I'd be more likely to allow photographs of me wearing your tele, the strats are just a bit "bling" for me :lol: - somehow the tele seems less so.

yeah actually i'd agree with that, something about the strats are a little more show offy, the tele's kinda subtle, which i never thought i'd say about a gold hardwared, abalone inlayed, flame topped guitar   :lol:

Nice guitar!  I agree with the comments about gold hardware, but it does seem to work in this instance.

Is that a real Richie Kotzen signature on the headstock?

It is indeed, he did a store day in the shop in edinburgh i bought it from. signed three of them. I was able to chose my favourite from four (one wasn't signed). I didn't buy it because it was signed, i would have happily bought the unsigned one, but this sounded the best  :D

Yes, a very nice ( and opulent ! ) piece of gear there tekbow.  I can imagine it covers a LOT of tonal range /bases. :D

Gold hardware ? ( It took me a little while to 'adjust ' to mine ) nice,  -  but be warned, you'll wake up one morning and start playing smoooooth Jazz !  8)

i have a pair of Kotzens, love the big necks, although the strat is slightly thinner. Great sounds on both. Fender Japan know how to put a guitar together  8)

ohhh you got the surf green see thru one.... you know when i first saw that i thought urgh. but it's grower.. i want one bad now lol just something deeply cool about it. love the perloid buttons on the tuners

More info on the strat? they're rarer than the teles or at least harder to get hold of
