Widespread Panic's late guitarist "Mikey" Michael Houser's guitar was a long ago discontinued 1990 and 1992 Fender Telecaster Deluxe Plus model, firestorm finish. This man's style, his guitar and tone have been a profound influence on me personally. I play amature level guitar now and pretty much play for my own enjoyment to what I like. I already have my dream acoustic/elec. guitar and am looking for info. on my dream elec. guitar. Which is the the previously mentioned Houser guitar since this is the lingering lead I Love best. Though that particular finish is not most important though a fire/black without the storm would be the alternative. This guitar is fairly rare and I read in an interview he had several built for him since they were discontinued by a friend and former Washburn guy who moved to Fender. And they called back the finisher to do the firestorm since no one else could duplicate it. Who is this builder? Does he still work for Fender? If I can't find this particular guitar, can one be built by the custom shop? There is a similar model on ebay right now that seems very close, how many of these guitars were made?

I want very much to buy this guitar since it will be a long time before I'll be able to afford a custom shop build if possible. I think if I don't jump on this one I may miss out on an opportunity to get a guitar similar to my guitar hero's.
Any expert advice or commentary would be much appreciated. There is not a great deal of info on this guitar out there but I'm certain that I want to develop a home rig with Houser's tone for my own personal ejoyment and this guitar is the first step. Thanks

Well the Tele Pus is a hell of a guitar and one that you dont see on a steady basis on ebay. I would definitely of jumped on this guitar if I were you as the price was right and you are looking for a player and not a case queen. Well you can see there were 31 bids so a lot of interest was shown. I hope you took it home, let us know.
