Even my Epiphone Casino will make that sound on occasion, the only difficulty being that you need to get a certain distance away from the amp as otherwise it's Feedback City. Not easy to do in our small rehearsal room or my even smaller room where I practice.
true, but thats the price of having a hollow bodied electric...hence the arrival of the solid bodies. on my strats i would get that annoying 60 cycle hum but i use a Rocktron Hush Super C....amazing bit of kit...sort of like a very clever noise gate..so even when sitting very close to my amp gubbins when i turn my back on the amp the noise goes away but without detroying tone or sustain, plus it helps to clean up any background hiss....get your arse on ebay and you can pick one up for about £50....the best £50 you'll ever spend on your set up...mess about with it for a while to get the optimum setting (takes a bit of tweaking, but its not like trying to get the holy grail distortion youve always dreamed of)...set it up...forget about it...by the way, you can buy feedback eliminators which kill as much or as little as you may want, letting you have screaming feedback thats under control...very cool..failing that, an EQ pedal can be used to cut the frequencies that encourage feedback although they do take a bit of pissing about to get just so..
i can ask about for you Viv..i need to know if its a US, Japanese or Mexican model..If its a US reissue it should come with a certificate of authenticity (on yellowish paper), a lead, strap and a vintage style woven tweed case. Also do you have the serial number? This will help to identify the model and in which factory it was made..cheers (if its American the serial should be on the neck plate and will start with the letter V). If its non American then the number may be on the neck plate, but perhaps also on the rear of the headstock..off hand i cant remember what the prefix letters are...Most Japanese Teles have 'Made in Japan' or 'Crafted in Japan' (depending on year) near the heel of the neck, where it joins the body. You mentioned that is cost around £600 when new so its probably Japanese. If it was a US butterscotch coloured model i'd be tempted to buy it for myself!

great VFM guitars but they do take a bit of a hammering if terms of residual value unfortunately even though its not really justified.
Have a bit of craic with Rob.....I'm sure he'll help you out with advice or could point you in the direction of the guy who helped out here....
It's Mexican funky View attachment 8754 That would be nice if you could ask about thank you. I have the receipt for it and bought it from absolute music
