THE TPP FRANCIS ROSSI
"STATUS QUO" TELECASTER TRIBUTE
 

Francis Rossi’s legendary Tele, which has been with him from the beginning, has certainly seen its share of modifications throughout its time in "Status Quo"!  Extensively customised, the original finish was sanded down and the front and sides stained in 'jungle green' - leaving the reverse of the body natural.  The original 50's ashtray Telecaster bridge was 'sawn' in half to accomodate a 6-saddle hardtail bridge (enhancing intonation and set-up) while a new Strat-based Lace Sensor Gold single coil pickup set was installed with 5-way switching to capture that signature 'Quo' sound.  But perhaps the guitar's most peculiar feature is the hole drilled right through the body, used to thread the jack lead at live gigs!
