I think the old Tele was stolen a few years back.

All you need is an insane amount of money, power with a desire for more power, and want to network in obscurity.

There's no logo on the peg head because Rich didn't feel comfortable putting his logo on Leo Fender's original shape. The guitar is stained swamp ash body, flame maple and brazilian rosewood neck.
