28 Telecaster legends: part 1
29 Les Paul legends: part 2
13 unsung Telecaster legends
Okay so the list says 28, but it seemed unfair to choose one of the Telecaster-toting Rossi and Parfitt combo over another.
Francis’s green ’57 and Rick’s white ’65 model have both been heavily modified to withstand the rigours of decades of pumping out the hits. While neither player is as fleet-fingered as many in this list, sometimes a no-nonsense rock ‘n’ roll boogie is worth a thousand virtuoso wig outs. Accept no substitute.
