actually this guy is a very accomplished musician with his own signature amp head out so do a little research before making such an arrogant remark.

For me the Tele is a musician's guitar, a songwriter's guitar; the fact that it sounds so great is a bonus.

@DrGolfJam you can get in the Ball Park by swapping out the modern hardware for vintage. On a Mexi Standard, it matches up pretty easily,the holes for the bridge are the same as the Ashtray, and you can get adapter bushings to put Kluson tuners on. Add a set of Fender original vintage pups,and enjoy. Swapping the Marshall for a Fender Tube amp will help tremendously also. I Vintage modded my Mex, and play it thru a Champion 600, with a Boss '63 Fender reverb pedal, it's an awesome econo Rig!

@slpplexi1969 I disagree. On the same guitar, a rosewood neck sounds noticeably dark to my ears. Also, I don't care for either the looks, the feel or the maintenance required to keep a rosewood fingerboard in good condition. For that matter, I don't care for sunburst Teles at all. So, this just isn't for me on any front.

Actually, it was Bobby Womack & Reggie Young on guitars on "I'm in Love', not Steve Cropper... Bobby Womack played the line you were trying to play in this clip.

Nice sounding Tele!

@Hoopermazing I care more about the sound than the looks. Rosewood or maple doesn't matter much. They feel a little different, but not much because you shouldn't be touching the fretboard much.

@slpplexi1969 Not when it has a sunburst finish and a rosewood fingerboard, and the reissue is rocking buterscotch blond and maple! Plus, the '52 reissue has a massive U shaped baseball bat of a neck... which I dig the most.

@gabalabachoyVI He did use it on Stairway to Heaven. That's what he was playing for the solo.

@Hoopermazing A 1960 Tele isn't as cool as a reissue???

[Hoopermazing]

Cool... not nearly as cool as a Butterscotch Blonde 1952 Reissue Tele, but cool nonetheless.

Ive got a just a mexican standard tele and a little marshall amp. I know it could never get it to sound just like that but any tips on how to get close?
