Ep. 143 - Where’s Terry’s Tele?

This episode was originally going to be all about Dave’s Jazz Bass. Things did not go exactly as planned… Instead, this week we dig deep into Chicago’s underrated guitarist Terry Kath, the documentary about his life, and posthumously tracking down his favorite guitar. We also get into Part One of a two-parter with Dave’s early 60s Jazz Bass - how badly will Hank mess this one up? We talk a bit about the history of the Jazz and what we hope to have accomplished by next week’s episode; hint: stacky bois. Also discussed: Terry Kath’s Fender Custom Shop Master Built run of Teles, Walrus Audio’s Slotva, Orange’s Guitar Butler, Ibanez’s Ruby Red TS9, NAMM’s Believe in Music, Gibson teasing the return of Maestro pedals, Fender’s longest tenured employee, and Linda Lee’s ’53 Gibson Gold Top Les Paul. Let’s make music ugly again.
