Condition : Very good.
Description :
The Tanglewood Quomaster Status 30 specifically refers to the mid-1990s production model designed to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of Status Quo (marking three decades since Francis Rossi and Alan Lancaster formed the core of what became the band in the mid-1960s).
Specifications & Hardware Breakdown :
- Body Construction: Unlike standard solid-colour Telecasters, the Status 30 features a natural alder laminated body. The transparent green finish allows the wood grain underneath to show through, replicating the stripped-and-stained look of Francis Rossi's primary stage guitar.
- Neck: A vintage-tinted one-piece bolt-on maple neck and maple fingerboard. It features standard black dot position markers and 21 or 22 medium frets
-
Hardware & Configuration:
- Traditional 6-saddle fixed Telecaster bridge.
- Classic 3-way pickup selector switch with one master volume and one master tone control knob.
- Six-in-a-line enclosed chrome die-cast tuning pegs.
- Pickups: Dual T-style single-coil pickups. The bridge pickup is aggressively angled to accentuate the high-end treble frequencies, making it easier for players to dial in that signature, biting Status Quo boogie-rock rhythm tone.
