Mike Stern on Working with Miles Davis and Playing a Telecaster in Jazz

Isn't it beautiful?
The Telecaster, I mean.
The same one the Boss uses, aside from the humbucker, of course.
Mine is apparently identical to Michelino's, just in cream color.
He's quite a shy and reserved guy (like Pat Metheny, who doesn't show it) and can sometimes seem grumpy; in fact, he got pretty annoyed when I told him, at Umbria Jazz ninety-something (I don't remember), that I had one but preferred my beloved Lead II: he thought it was "cheesy."
But I was and still am a provincial guy, who falls in love with girls who have the sea in their eyes, regardless of the cost.
Ah: forgive me if I always talk about guitars with strings: those with fur are thankfully out of fashion now.
Has the topic ever been discussed here, on the evolved DB?
I belong to the "without," if it's understood? Sgnátz!

Ps. Here he doesn’t play it, but you can hear how much he loves it whenever you want. With Miles and without.
