thx! seems cool enough with them bursts.

seems pretty odd to promo your amp with a discontinued (?) model.

A guy in my music class had the Telesonic. It was really shit which is a bit of a shame cos they look so promising.

How?

It's one of those guitars that you look at and think "this can't not be great."

Shame.

exactly. they just look really classy.

they always make me think of an american toronado with p90's.

Yeah it was (in my mind) the ultimate hybrid, a Tele with a chambered mahogany body with DeArmond pups to give that hybrid Fender/Gibson P90 joy sound. In reality it had a very pedestrian "bitsa" guita vibe. Not far enough one way or the other to be worthwhile. Rather that the best of the Gibby/Fender worlds it was a pale approximation of... neither of them. I can't remember where they were made but it played like a shitty Korean guitar.

In the spirit of fairness I've only played the one and it was as described above, so I could have played a bad un and the rest could be awesome. I doubt it though.

Failed from a sales perspective but surely not from a design one.
It's pretty hard to fuck something like this up.
