New project guitar

[McCreed]

Call the guitar 'Little Wing' as a Hendrix tribute.

Or Little Bastard Wing!

Did Jimi ever play a tele?

Good to see you back Simon.

[Simon Barden]

He's supposed to have borrowed Noel Redding's Tele on a few recordings. But if you read all the various guitar forum reports, he'd have played it on almost every major hit!

[McCreed]

A quick image search online doesn't yield any photos of him with a tele.

I once saw poorly photoshopped pic of Jimi with a Les Paul though. (probably on the LP Forum!)

[Simon Barden]

I quite like this one.

I quite like this one.

I could just imagine Jimi playing one of those pink "Hello Kitty" Strats, since he was known to have a wonderful sense of humor.

[Simon Barden]

The lack of any cutaway when worn reversed would mean poor upper fret access, so unless he had a left-handed guitar, it wouldn't be a guitar of choice for him. But the Purple Haze solo was probably done on Noel's Tele.

A video on the subject (which I haven't watched yet).

Ya see... this is what happens when you hijack your own thread!!!


I was working on a guitar somewhere in here...

What about a Hello McCreed Telecaster?

What about a Hello McCreed Telecaster?

LOL!

I could spend waaaaay too much time running with that idea!

What about a Hello McCreed Telecaster?

An idea like that deserves its own thread! “Hello (insert name) telecasters”.
