John Hiatt - Austin City Limits

Yup, that's it. And that's Davey Faragher on bass, currently playing with Elvis Costello.

Yep. Thats the shit.

He inherited Long John Baldry's voice.

I still don't dig the goldtop...it's really a 335 with P90s right? It seems so. Anyway, i've never even played one cuz no one has one from what i can see. At least he's got his own thing. Anyway, 70s teles can be cool if you do the proper mods. Try a Gibson Burstbucker in the neck and a Barden or Fralin in the bridge. That alone will make it sound great and versitile. If it has an ash body you're already ahead of the curve. Replace the tuners and you've got yourself a fine gigging instrument

No those are not P90's. Those are low impedence p.u.'s that Les favored for a while. A ES-330 has P-90's but it is completly hollow with no block inside like a 335. Generally 70's Tele's are crap and now they're overpriced crap. You would do better and much cheap to mod a MIM Tele, especially the 50's or 60's "copy" or the MIM James Burton model. If you own a 70's Tele DON'T mod it! You will piss off most of the value, sell it and buy you something good.

Michael Ward rocks that holly body!

I got one of those teles with the white pickups in the early 80's and your right I couldn't get that thing to sound good in any amp. I took the pickups out and put a tele pickup in front and a Gibson firebird pickup in back and it has been my main axe for over 20 years now.

im so sorry.
