Joe Bonamassa - with a 52 Telecaster plugged up thru an old Fender Vibrolux Reverb.

The Out of Place Collar Brigade proudly presents Sunday conversations with the Telecaster.... Having a bit of fun in the spirit of Roy Buchanon with a May 52 Telecaster plugged up thru an old Fender Vibrolux Reverb. Enjoy!!

What a great-sounding Tele. That middle position that he's playing through the first part of the video is so warm and dynamic. You usually don't think of a Tele being able to play jazz but lord, listen to the bite when he digs in and the smooth, warm tones when he strums. Just an excellent-sounding guitar.

[peterpenklis]

no doubt- a master of his craft- a goal to emulate, just for the heck of it!

[jensongainer]

Man he can play. These old teles were my granddads favorite. He would love to have heard that.

[dianacrow]

Nice tele, well seasoned! And it's even older than I! Lol; you da best Ace!

52 Tele.
The Holy Grail of guitars for all Country guys.
Effin awsome sounding thing.

[kevincrookshanks]

dude, you are sick!   love watching you play

Whenever I see a Bonamassa vid, I am reminded of that episode from B5 where Sinclair asks the assassin why he did it; the assassin replies simply, "There is a hole in your mind."
There's a similar size hole in Mr. Bonamassa's playing that he really should address, before its cover gigs and awards only...

Brass saddles make those telecaster sound brighter👍😀

hes beeing practicing his dimisished runs

I live right down the road from ya. Do you think you could part with one of them little fender amps champ. I need one to go along with my 61 ES 330. What's the poor boy to do sep ta play in a rock 'n' roll band.

[Tonetwisters]

Wonder if that's Chip Jaynes' old Tremolux?

[MrDaveFerrier]

love the ala 'beckish' outro

[thephysicsguy]

0:29 hands up he is firing. Nothing like the low end of the fretboard doesn't get any more chunky and mean.

[toolbros]

Is there any effing thing this cat cannot play?

[billblack]

I'll trade my 86 for that 52 any day of the week :)

[frankb]

only thing missing in this clip is something like a ehx microsynth or pog

[pabdiary]

It's hard to really hear the tone when he's always playing 100 miles an hour

[stanwollmers]

This kind of playing gets old essence..."look what I can do"
