Tommy,

Awesome! I have always loved funk! I sometimes wish my "natural" style and feel wasn't so mellow. Unfortunately the more I try to do something "funky", the more it comes out sounding like Conway Twitty!

Seriously, this is great stuff. Like Mario said, you have a great tone working in a great groove! Keep it up, cuz!

Thank You so much Pikeyh ,my old Strat has Van Zant pickups that were hand wound . I love the tone it makes too ! I also love my biab/rb ,it would have been expensive to hire the people that played on it.

This is just getting cooler and cooler.
I do love Funk and I do love that tone of yours.
Of course your playing is outstanding.

After listening to this one, I may switch from my Tele and stick to my Strat. I'm just diggin the Strat sound so much again.
Listening to this makes me want to never put my Strat away now.

Thanks for sharing again. This truly was inspiring for me.

It seems the Tele I've had for over 23 years now is pretty fat. It's like a Les Paul Tele.
More brute force than sharp cutting. Which I dig because it makes for a great mellow sound. Nice and thick if I like and I can still cut through anything by playing it harder.
But that's why I always chose Fenders. No matter how hard I played a Gibson, it wouldn't give anything more up.
You can play a Fender to sleep and wake it up and make it pull teeth.
Man I love Fenders. You're right though, most Teles are very bright and sharp. Mine seems to have a much thicker sound. I have a set of Joe Bardons he made for me years ago it it. Great sound for me.
I got another set from him awhile after for another Tele and they just didn't work out. He understood and took them back. He was a very nice guy.
It's like your pickups, handmade are truly one of a kind. Even the maker can't reproduce them again.
Great to hear the Funk buddy, Wayne,
