I got one of these on Ebay for under $2K. Removed the S-1 gimmick electronics and replaced it with an RS Guitarworks kit. The neck feels really nice and it looks quite a bit like the one he's playing. Great guitar, great sound.
i really liked the tone you got when you "kicked in some overdrive". i thought it really retained the fender tone of the tele and the twin reverb. what pedal were you using to get the overdrive?
they are more similar in sound to strats than most people think. A tele is a bit more compressed sounding, It makes the bridge pup more usuable for dirty sound and lead I think.
i think what it all comes down to is which one you personally feel comfortable playing. one isn't better than the other. telecasters are great guitars. i've owned one along with a strat but i sold it and replaced it with another strat. I'm just a strat player. if you're like me, you play the guitar that sounds and feels the best for you. strats just do it for me. as for the relic series, they're corny and a total waste of money.
I don't know who agrees with me but, I think a lot of this stuff is just pretentious guitar wank. Much as I know that different guitars produce different sounds, I think that some people read into it too deeply and spend too much time tone chasing when they could be thrashing out and rocking. I'll probs get... what is it that people say, flamed? for saying all of this, but I just wanted to make my point (Y)
how is that though? i know where you're coming from but if your a bad player with a marshall bluesbreaker and a gibson les paul then its gonna sound good
no youre not... believe me. Ive heard people through some great gear sound like shit... my gear is a epi les paul 100, crate vc 50 and a pedal (shitty guitar, nice amp, nice pedal) Decent gear and people witch much nicer stuff sound like crap. I used to think when people said tone is in the fingers, it was a whole buncha bs. But seriously it really comes from the fingers and style
Lord have mercy please Lord put that guitar in my hands one day. Perfect color, great look, killer finish, amazing tone, love the neck and must have it. One day, one day my friends.
aahh 240p we meet again. <3
