Here's my all original 1953 Tele I got in 1975 when I was on tour with John Prine! It's been my go to guitar for 50 years. Nothing compares to it, it has the best neck, tone and sound of any in the world, and 1953s are considered my many to be the best of the best. It's on countless recordings, albums, soundtracks, videos you name it! Also, I remembered that Fender actually borrowed this Tele from me in the '80s so they could base their reissue Tele's on it! And all that wear on the neck is from me, BY THE WAY! Please write me with any questions....thanks, AR
