JeffB Posted December 14, 2016 Posted December 14, 2016 Here he is with the red Sheraton I think about when I think of Leon Rhodes. Oh yeah, and some kid named Willie Nelson... I was just about to post this same clip. The first time I heard it and the guitar solo kicked in I was kinda disappointed for the first few bars after hearing all the sped up fills he had played through the versus... ...then at about the 0:56 mark, I love that stuff. Clean, precise and musical. Also wiggy and fun.
ElNumero Posted December 14, 2016 Posted December 14, 2016 I imagine the original plastic and bill lawrence pickups would be desirable on one of these guitars. There are probably four or five. They were all probably sold or traded through j.p. It is personally my favorite heritage model. I love the pickguard shape and the sound of the pickups. Its like a set neck all mahogany tele, bw a middle pickup. To me this guitar represents the best of the early experimental slab body heritage models and really captures the vibe of the company, on the opposite end of the spectrum from the american eagle. I think it wasnt ornate enough for leon. Its too bad. I believe rendal put a lot of love into this model. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pP9mDEri85o The four owners are and were real people in the world of manufacturing, but rendal has always been the heart, soul, and sound of heritage. ...and jack too. who here has heard jack sing? Those two are the sweetest. ...and then theres bill... Jack ?
