1952 Fender Telecaster played by Guthrie Trapp

A great sounding original Blackguard Telecaster! The guitar has been oversprayed, has had the bridge pickup rewound, and has had the volume pot replaced. There is also a crack through the body.

I was born in ‘52. That’s all I have to say. I deserve this guitar anyone who knows me can attest to this fact! A bd while we’re on the subject… I was 7 in 1959… which was Mickey Mantle’s number and anyone who knows me can attest that he’s my favorite Yankee. Therefore take your pick of all the usual suspects in the guitar world in ‘59. Ok, a dark back Goldtop. Not a burst. Ain’t caffeine great! Thanks Guthrie, thanks Carters!✌️❤️🌞

[@6StringStories]

He played very few chords yet you can hear the chord progression clearly. What a freakin pro.

[@benjaminanderson1476]

Them double stops tho!

He's a monster

👏👏👏 Love mine, but can't play ANYWHERE near that good. Well done.

[@JimWalkerMusic]

I've stood 10 ft from GT @Roberts in Nashville no less than a dozen times and just blew my mind every time. Skills, tone and he's a real nice feller to boot!

[@mattharrison4238]

Now that’s how you play a black guard, look at him go! Great pickin as always Guthrie, can’t wait to see you live when all this madness subsides!

Hey Guthrie just found this treasure trove, fabulous playing Sir.

[@guitareveryone]

That’s cool playing Guthrie. And the tele and amp sounds mighty fine too.

[@paullong1250]

That might be some of the tastiest playing I've heard from Guthrie, and that '52 sounds like perfection in his hands!

[@FromtheSoultotheFretboard]

Thank you, what a perfect song for a quick errand!! The guitar, the tone, the hands and you absolutely ripped it!! Bravo and Well Done Sir!!

[@nathansterrett3054]

How does anyone play so clean and precise with the rounded side of their pick? Unreal

[@michaeldinunzio3002]

Amazing Guthrie! I love your playing!

[@CraigPaddockmusic]

uhhhhh Guthrie can play. I love how there's a calm though to each note. Even though he plays fast...it's like I can slow down and sit in between his chops and have a smoke.

[@ardiris2715]

Playing like this makes me wonder why Nashville producers bury that gorgeous tone under tons of delay and reverb.

[@kylecravens8052]

Sadly session players in Nashville don't get to play country anymore! They're amazing players but they don't play country

[@ardiris2715]

@@kylecravens8052 I dont care whether they play country. Tele tone spans many music styles.

@@kylecravens8052 Right there with you. Country taught me what Tele tone is, and then I started hearing it everywhere. When I first heard Radiohead, my first reaction was "Is that a Tele?"

I wish Danny Gatton was alive to sit down with you in a studio ,the both of you just play loose and cut an entire album.You just screw around on the guitar,any style or genre,and it turns out incredibly awesome.That’s how Danny Gatton played,he flowed just like you.

I see that Guthrie has been studying my standard guitar instructional book for beginners.

[@mattrogers1946]

That's what a Tele is supposed to sound like.

[@kevincarballo8668]

It's funny, finally hearing a great tele player rip on a great tele has assured me that I'm not a tele guy! I don't want to play or sound like this at all, but I sure enjoyed listening to Guthrie's playing. Time to sell mine...

How about the amp details and settings. I have been chasing that tone and the closest is a Vox 15 and the tones turned right off. Yeah, I know 'touch' and tecniech have a lot to do with it.
