I was blown away, not just by the gift, but also remembering the many kindnesses Bill had done for me through the years. I share about Bill and the modifications that he had done to the guitar since he bought it from Clawson's Music in Corpus Christi, Texas in the mid-1960s. Through the years, it received an electronics upgrade from Bill Lawrence, who did the modifications himself, and a neck change to a mid-70s model.I also show how Bill's Tele has aged differently from my 1967 Telecaster, as his 1967 has much less wear, yet is much darker due to the number of gigs he played in the smoke-filled Honky Tonks and Dance Halls of South Texas.Book Nook Amazon link - Fender The Inside Story by Forrest Whitehttps://amzn.to/3MidRQQGear used:1967 factory Bigsby-equipped Fender Telecaster with Bill Lawrence pickups, and a mid-70s neck.2023 Headstrong Lil' King with 12" Eminence GA-SC64 speakerhttps://headstrongamps.com/lil-king-ampEffects used:Mad Professor Deep Blue Delay #askzac #billlawrence #bigsbytelecasterTexas ToastThe #1 Country Music Podcast in Texas!Listen on: Apple Podcasts   SpotifySupport the show
