[Bm] Hey folks, Greg Koch here, holding this [N] magnificent Telecaster.
Cream City Music, beautiful Brookfield, Wisconsin, where I'm located at this very moment in time.
Joe Gallenberger here at Cream City Music approached me and was like, hey, I got an idea.
We're a custom shop dealer.
I want to do some unusual things.
Do you have any guitars that you'd be interested in doing as a limited run signature thing?
I said, absolutely.
I've got these two main guitars that I've used.
There's a YouTube video that I'm doing, kind of this crazy medley, where I do this song
called Spank It, which is an old chicken pickin' fricassee tune I've done for years.
And I'm using this guitar on it, and everyone's going, where do I get that guitar?
So I thought, when I was talking to Joe, it'd be a good idea.
Why don't we do some of those Telecasters, and we'll do some of the Strats.
They're unique looking.
They have some unique features on them.
So this particular guitar, what we decided to do is we did 10 Strats, 10 Teles.
Of the 10 guitars, they're all, because of the nuances and weirdness of these guitars,
they couldn't be team built.
They had to be master built.
And so Dennis Galuska at the custom shop is a great guy, unbelievable builder, proceeded
to make these guitars.
And what we decided to do, since they were master built, is that we could have a little
fun with them.
So we did, of the 10 Strats and 10 Teles, 3 are new old stock, NOS as they say.
3 are closet classics, which are slightly aged.
The blue starts to turn a little bit more green.
And then there are 4 in various stages of relicking.
Light relic to the 4th one being heavy relic.
They're making what's called the Parsons Green B-Bender, which as you can see over here,
it goes through the body instead of the Parsons Whitehead, kind of a rotary thing where the
string would be turned this way.
What happens is that the B-string goes over, and there's a little hole in the bridge and
it goes right through into this mechanism.
And on the back, there is what I like to usually joke about as an elaborate series of trusses,
which basically takes the string and bends it as a result of this strap button right here.
When I go like this on the strap, it takes the B-string and it goes up a whole step.
And what this allows you to do is to tune it so you can make it, right now I have it
going up a whole step, you can make it go up a half step, you can make it go up a step
and a half, whatever you want to do.
But that allows me to get these kind of [E]
[G#] pedal-feely type of things.
[F#]
[C#]
[F#m] [A]
[B]
[A] [G#] You get the idea.
It's kind of cool.
So, I don't use the B-Bender for everything.
A lot of people are like, well I don't like B-Bender, I don't know how to use a B-Bender,
why would I want to?
Because it's [D] cool as hell.
You know, you could be doing chords, [A] all kinds of chordal things, [F#]
all [A#] kinds of [B]
[Am] whatever [A] you
want to do, these maniacal little rambling things.
They're just for kind of tender little things you can do.
[F#] [E]
[B] [F#] Basically allowing you to get that B-string bent while playing full chords that you couldn't
possibly do without having the B-Bender.
So it's cool.
And as usual, I always put this little thing on the volume control where I have, so that
when you turn down you don't lose any highs.
[E] Some [N] things about it is, it's a light ash body.
As you can see, it's a bird's eye maple neck.
It's 22 frets, which is what I like, because sometimes you're in B and you just want to
be able to go, you know, when you have a 21 fret, you just can't do it.
It's a 9.5 radius.
As you can see, the headstock is painted the kind of pearlescent, pearl-oiled machine heads.
White black white pickguard here.
Gold hardware as I mentioned before.
It's got the American Standard bridge on it.
That's pretty much it.
As I said, there's 10 of each.
We've sold through a few of them now, so you'll have to see what's left.
But they're only available here at Cream City Music.
This is not a national campaign.
Again, check it out, CreamCityMusic.com.
We'll set you up and thanks for tuning in.
We'll see you on the road.
