I dig it. I've been a fan of tk's stuff, but this might be the first time I've seen a direct comparison of his pickups. Very unique, and percussive, when compared to the T-armonds and sorta-standard lipstick. Even the Cc and Bigsby show significant differences, when shown side-by side.
Very helpful.
all i need now, is extra dough.

Surfin' Teles? Sure I've done it for years. Brian Carman of the Chantays played a hardtail Tele style guitar live many times and would grab the body and bend the neck for vibrato. He is very good at it.
Of the four guitars demo'd above I liked the sound of the pine slab with the T-armonds in it. To my ears it was the most surfy. I would supose that with amp adjustments and the tone control on the reverb unit they would all cut the mustard.

Lots of reverb, but I don't hear any surf music. That is why I didn't comment. You should do some surf music samples for us!
I think we all love Teles here, but we don't often get to hear them play the music.

This 'looks' sorta convincing
I loved the 2nd geetar tone - I was getting distortion thru my 'phones when I listened so it was a little hard to enjoy

I love Teles for surf. To my ears, I liked #1 best, but I have to concur with Jake, it wasn't surf music. Sounded good though!

No surf music? I played a chord progression vibe from Los Straight Jackets
"close to champagne" wasnt it apparent?

TV, I think they were looking for a big gliss. I got what you were trying to do.

Lol! Some nice zen-logic there!
I love tele's, my first guitar was a tele. And I like to switch between my jag/jazzy, gretsch and tele.
I loved the tone of 3rd rutters, damn, I think I'm gonna hunt me some TK Smith's for my MIJ bigsby tele. The original pickups suck anyway. So I was thinking of replacing them with dearmonds. But these TK's really shine!
Thanks for the great demo!

Any guitar can surf, teles included. As for the clips, they all sounded pretty much the same to me, through my lap top speakers, and I thought there was too much reverb. Otherwise, the playing was good.
