There are several great videos of Julian Lage playing a telecaster. I thought this one might interest fellow board members as he is playing solo guitar jazz standard "Darn that Dream". The great thing about a telecaster is most any model / pickup configuration sounds great... different but yet similar at the same time.

It's a Nachocaster

I believe in this video he is playing through a Fender Champ and some kind of reverb device. Really nice sound with just a touch of breakup and great playing.
-
It looks like a JC120 behind him in the first video ?
-
At the level Julian plays today, any guitar is great.

Love that neck p/u tele sound. Tone knob roll off and on is so effective, when you have a good neck p/u.

even a 10$ guitar would play like a manzer in his hands

His danocaster is lighter finish (here played by Margaret) as is his refin '54. So I'm guessing the nacho. Originally Posted by fws6

Julian's story behind why he's had a lifelong affinity for the tele is fun-- everybody know it?

Premier Guitar did a "rig run down" on Glaspy and she said the Dano is pretty much hers now.

There's just nothing like a good tele
-
good thing (for him) his dad didn't have this poster up! haha
cheers

Was that regular cardboard or swamp cardboard? How does it compare to alder? Originally Posted by mr. beaumont

>We take it for granted that he's using the front pick up but I can't quite verify the position of the switch.Check out both videos and see if you might agree with me that he's in the middle position? Originally Posted by mad dog

Roundwounds or flats?
I have a really great Ltd Edition HH 2014 Telecaster and it is a marvel for jazz just with 10-46 d'Addarios roundwounds .
I'm about to change the strings, and wonder what would suit it for that kind of sound Julian Lage gets

Funny because that was the exact ones I was thinking of.
But is it what he uses on Telecasters, since the articles is on an acoustic album?
-
I dont remember where I saw it, but pretty sure I've read somewhere that Julian uses rounds on his tele and they are 11s.

Lol. He's got some Chuck Berry and
Rockabilly licks in there.
Cool that he can play around in a fun way like that.
Fender Champs especially into a larger speaker always sound good.Last edited by Robertkoa; 03-22-2017 at 07:28 AM.
