Hello Wayne, yup, it’s a Fender. Tube chart says Feb 1965, oxford speakers. You can cover a lot of bases with a Tele and a Twin. I have played mostly country flavored stuff, rockabilly, boogie, country, country rock, the “hippie” country, bluegrass and western swing. (which is mostly jazz with fiddles instead of a horn section, I think) Commander Cody and The Lost Planet Airmen were, and still are, big influences. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VdEgmtOcv6U. Take care John

Thanks and Howdy Bill, Yeah Buddy Ole Sam was a killer player, arranger and
entertainer. While I enjoy, respect and am envious of the jazz guys chops,
it’s the “hell raisers” tone that knock me out most. The Butera and Jim
Horn wailers, and of course the seedy, smokey old jazz guys too. A Tom
Waits show takes you to the seedy side of New York or Chicago back in the
30’s. When you hear it described as nasty, dirty. filthy, kinky sax, you
know exactly what it is. .Take Care Man, John

Hello Wayne, sorry it took a while to reply. When I said I have played, I should say I still do play all the toys in the house. It’s all old vintage stuff I’ve had for 40 years. I paid 100 bucks for my ’65 blackface twin reverb, I wish I could buy a mess of ’em for that price now. Here is Yep by the great Duane Eddy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXdwH5BZsDI and here is some Sam Butera with Louie Prima.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kTcjXhGbxU AND https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rV8HrpOu1FA Take care, John
