A Tele imo is the best surf guitar.

EDIT: A tremolo pedal would also be very helpful.
Just get a fender amp with real spring reverb, or do what Satchy said, EH is the **** when it comes to pedals.



As long as you have single coils, fat arse strings, and lots of reverb/trem then I think you could nail any sound you needed. **** Dale used like 70 gauge low E strings. I think sometimes even Piano wire.
