Mike's Comment: Went to Guitar Center to try and amp and was amazed to find "My" Telecaster Deluxe re-issued. Couldn't belive it would sound as good but it did. The dual Humbucker Pick-ups give you a range from twang to clean, with plenty of heft if you want it. Extremely versatile and easy play like my original.
Mike's Comment: This is the guitar of my dreams. Every great artist I've always admired from Jimmy Page to Eric Clapton, Peter Green, Mick Taylor, Mike Bloomfield, Hubert Sumlin and on and on have recored some of my favoirtie music with Les Paul's. It can't be long now.
Mike's Comments: Got this one a few years ago. Was looking for a quality guitar that was relatively inexpensive. What a great guitar! Asiide from the beautiful craftsmanship the tone quality is superb and the stock humbucker pick-ups are hot. Recommend this to anyone looking for great blues guitar that can rock & roll or jump & jive.
Mike's Comments: What can I say? If it's good enough for Eric Clapton, it's good enough for me + it's a Martin Guitar so you know you're getting all the craftsmanship you want and need. An excellent fingerpicking blues guitar with full sound and not too bright.
Mike's Comments: Beatifully sounding Dobro Guitar. You can get tones from growling lows to clean, ringing highs. You can hear it whenever Jerry douglas picks one up. John Fogarty and Robert Randolph also use a Beard.Great price for all this tone.
