those teles with the neck humbucker but the trad single coil in back are a nice combo
Yeah, it's a reasonable compromise. Plus, for whatever reason, they look like less of an abomination than a Fat Strat. (shudders)

When you get into the details of the original Fender WR humbucker pickup design from the 70s, there's something to the original copper/nickel/iron magnets in them that's tonally separate from other humbuckng pickups of the era and completely different from the HBs that Fender uses now.https://reverb.com/news/dont-fence-me-in-the-fender-wide-range-humbucker-family

Yep - the idea was to use a machineable ferromagnetic alloy so that you could have magnet polepieces (the Fender sound) but they could also be screwed up and down (a humbucker principle, since Seth Lover did both these and the Gibson PAFs). CuNiFe is machineable with a screw thread (AlNiCo would chip and shatter), but wasn't commercially available after the 70s so they stopped using it. Demand from the boutique pickup market brought it back maybe 5 years ago?

Kind of gets worse as it gets into the body, also looks like the artist gave up on the picking hand.

And while I love Gale's playing, this one gets too smooth in places for me (Bob James arranged and plays keys.)

Wow, that's something! If I recall correctly, my grandpa crafted a homemade bass for my uncle (also Michiganders) back in the 50s/60s. I'd like to hope that it was better than that. I'll have to see if I can get my dad to track down a photo for comparison purposes.

I love and forgive this one, but nonetheless it must be noted that the bluegrass banjo player is inexplicably playing what looks like a tenor banjo (four strings) and that the guitarist is one-finger barring the entire sixth fret, and doing so with his finger ON the fret. He also appears to be holding his pick perpendicular to the strings and the tailpiece is apparently so close to the soundhole that his arm is blocking it entirely.

Weird amounts of care taken on strange details, with glaring omissions in others. Like, five-string banjo with four strings and a strap. Six-string guitar with six strings and no strap.
Ascots, or maybe cravats, plus sweater vests, because the artist clearly can't be trusted with normal shirts or ties? Cross-hatch film instead of actual cross-hatching? Hey btw the 70s called and wants their graphics technique back.
At least the faces made of badly kneaded bread dough are accurate, so there's that.
