Any Mike Stern fans in the house? I know he used to use a parts tele before it was stolen from him, by some crack head on the street. Now I know he uses a Yamaha tele looking guitar that he put his name on.

Not a huge Stern fan, but I do remember reading some old interviews with him (I started playing back at the end of the 1970s; at one point I had a large collection of guitar magazines including a few interviews with Stern).

That wasn't necessarily a parts Tele - it was an old blackguard Tele with a Gibson Charlie Christian pickup in the neck position. He actually had a couple of these - after it was stolen he got a replacement that was also a blackguard Tele that he added the Christian pickup to. I'm not sure if it was the stolen one of the replacement, but one of these Teles he got from Danny Gatton. Sorry, I don't have that magazine any more to look it up.

I must admit, I really like his stuff. Jazzy/fusion/rock.

I like a lot of his music. He's a talented and witty player and very down to earth guy.
