Someone told me lately that Jimmy Page used a Telecaster and a Supro amp on they're first album, the one with Communication Breakdown. Also, I had a house gig near Muscle Shoals Alabama for awhile and someone there told me that one of Duane Allmans favorite rigs was a
Telecaster thru a Vox Super Beatle. |

And don't forget the cover of Having A Rave Up with Jeff Beck holding his Butterscotch Tele' as well. I believe this is the album that EC played on but left when the album was released and Jeff came into the fold.
Who knows..who cares..it was a good record.
Joey..good try..you're gonna have to do better than this one....
That young EC photo with the red Tele is actually quite famous in the guitar circle.

| When Jeff Beck left the Yardbirds did'nt he give that Tele ( or was it an Esquire ?) to Jimmy P ? [This message was edited by CrowBear Schmitt on 28 November 2002 at 09:51 AM.] |

It's not a Tele anyway. |

I never would have guessed Lenny Breau , I never saw a photo of him in his last years. Yes..what a talent. I still listen to Buddy and Lenny "Minors" often. What a loss..

And I'd say it's a Gibson Byrdland or ES-350T.

Yes, I had guessed it was Lenny - one of my idols.
Saw him in a Toronto cellar club in the early '70s. What a treat.
A mate of mine used to see him perform in Winnipeg, Canada prior to his fame and also has glowing reports.
Glad that fan Randy Bachman (of the Guess Who) is releasing many of Lenny's recordings as part of his 'Guitarchives' series.

One last try,
The picture quality is poor, that's fair because you guys are too good.

Correct you are!
Thanks for the added info on the L5-L1 conversion, Max. I'll watch for that.
