Blond Tele
The latest guitar by Performance Guitar (besides 20th Anniversary reissues). This time, it is a telecaster although we have a impression that Warren uses stratcaster. This guitar has a beautiful wood body as well as Hawaiian Koa Guitar. Warren really likes this one, and enjoys playing at the shows.

Performance Guitar had a same type telecaster as a stock, and Warren saw it when he came to the store. Then when he wanted a new guitar with different type of tones, he decided to try a telecaster.
  • The body, and pick guard are the same as the one stocked at the Performance Guitar.
  • Adjusted the grip of the neck for Warren.
  • Used stainless frets.
  • Changed the position of the control. Usually, it is "switch - volume - tone", but Warren's is "volume - tone - switch" because volume is used often.
  • Warren really liked the Blond Tele when he tried it, and he kept playing for a long time after he got back home.
  • Warren used the Blond Tele during the Summer tour 2002 (Rockfest).
  • The telecaster which was stored at Performance Guitar was for left-handed, but Warren enjoyed playing it with right-handed.
"He looked most happy with the Blond Tele
though we have made several guitars.
He was like just a gitar kid."
