In today's AZ, I retell the story of seeing Joe Glaser age a pickup cover in a restoration project, long before the beginning of the Fender relics.  I also dispel the often-told story that the Relic series happened after Fender sent some guitars to Keith Richards, and he indicated "Go beat them up, they look too new." It never happened according to the former head of the Fender Custom Shop, John Page, Master Builder J. Black, and Vince Cunetto. I end the episode showing an old-school hot lick, that is guaranteed to turn heads.Gear used in Video:2019 Danocaster Blackguard (1953 Telecaster Style) with Ron Ellis 52T (Bridge) and Julian Lage (Neck)https://danocaster.com/Strings: D'Addario NYXL 10,12,16, 24, 34, 44.Pick:Blue Chip TPR 35 RB Amp:1967 Deluxe Reverb amp with Celestion V30 speakerEffects used:TC PolytuneMirage compressor pedal9v power via Truetone CS6  https://amzn.to/38S9rZK #askzac #guitartech #telecasterSupport the show
