I've posted pics of my Jerry-Tele before but here it is again:

What do you call an Aligatoresque tele with a frog on it?

It's a great sounding guitar, I used it at a gig last weekend. I have a Scarlet Fire Wolf too and sometimes forget what a great guitar that Tele is.

Allegedly the 8-23-71 and 8-24-71 shows had Jerry on tele if you are interested. It sounds like it to me.

I have photo evidence of the tv yellow LP used for the 8-7-71 show (DP36) and the sunburst LP Deluxe for 8-14-71 and 8-15-71, like as in copies of the photos from the guy who took them. On 8-26-71 Jerry was playing Alligator and probably did for the rest of 1971.

Jerry ain't playing any of those guitars in Chicago to my ears.

Jerry played GH's rosewood Tele during the Festival Express CC Rider cut.

This thread is about the original poster's Tele that he made from parts.FYI.

I mentioned this a long time ago in a different thread, but I read that a guy who was doing some electrical work at Jerry's house late in his career (90s?) said that the only guitar that he ever saw Jerry play when he was at his house was a blonde tele. I'm guessing it's the one that Bobby is seen playing around on in a room in a video from a few years ago.
