Fender / 'Long Tall Ernie' & 'Hank The Knife' Telecaster / 1969 / Guitar
When I was something like 14 Years of age, Long tall Ernie & the Shakers were really the no. 1 hot Rock & Roll band in Holland. they often played on stage in my blackguard, and I considered them one of the best Rock and Roll bands of Holland, big fun on stage, and great music. Later on Hank the Knife & the Jets played this guitar, and made it even more famous with a their great hit 'Guitar King' Back then as you can see it was much whiter, and already very cool, but it aged like all olympic white Fender do. This is a guitar with a great history.
A Fender telecaster 1969, is all original up to the last screw, it's also Excellent original condition, with original Olympic white body, yellowed moderately, typical for Olympic white guitars from this era.

The Fellowship Of Acoustics, Netherlands
ABOUT US
I have always been opposed to being trapped into a job eight hours a day to purchase the free time to do what I enjoy. That’s why i started the Fellowship of Acoustics. The fellowship of acoustics was founded by Rudi Bults, Guitarist and obsessed with tone and wood. The idea was offering real expertise when trading and selling the finest instruments in the world from our showroom in Bergentheim, Netherlands. Helping others find the right tools and enjoying an atmosphere that’s unhurried, honest and informative that’s my go. We are nothing like the "supermarket" style music stores, but specialize in string-things only. We are widely known for Flattop guitars but also sell electric, mandolins & banjo’s, amps, parts, and accessories. Our store has earned the reputation for being a great place to shop for the best products and service.
It is our hope that this new website - much more than a list of "gear" for sale - will serve as an example of our commitment to offering a more personal approach, a friendly atmosphere, and an ultimately more satisfying experience for our friends and customers.
