Richy Kotzen Tele

[philthis]

Hey you guys, I know when you think great Fender Tele style players the last guy that comes to mind is Richy Kotzen. I always looked at him as a great player with great chops but I played his Fender Tele the other day and it is a great guitar. The neck is solid, big but comfy, and sustains wonderfully. It has great action on it. The guitar feels custom shop good and the pickups are excellent. Not many stores have them but if you find one I would highly recommend trying it out as it is my new favorite tele and I have never really liked tele's before untill I played this one.

Those guitars look really cool. It's weird they don't come with case (new), though.

its got a cool tone knob system on it. It gets some great tones out of it and the quality is top notch custom shop type quality. its a great guitar.

The Kotzen Tele is awesome. I love the huge neck and slight forearm contour. Noiseless bridge pickup is cool, too. I feel that it's extremely reasonably priced, given these modifications and the fact it's a sig model.

If Jeff Beck can have a cutaway, why not Richie?

(beat that dead horse, beat it!!!!!!!!!!!)

I can't help it, I'd own one if it wasn't for that, but I need the cutaway on Fenders.

So what are the features of this guitar that makes it a great choice? I've only seen them, but never played them.

Re: Richy Kotzen Tele

jump on YouTube I think he talks about it more on there. It has a crap tun of sustain cuz the neck is set tight into the body. He has come up with a real winner. I dont like Tele's much but I really like his guitar.
