@PBANDSNOW the neck is not made from one piece, it has a glued on fingerboard, like a rosewood neck, but with maple wood. Sounds in between a rosewood and a 1pc maple neck
which song does Phil play, right after saying "Let's rock it out"? That song has been stuck in my head for ages. PLEASE answer this post :P thanks!!! Keep up the amazing job and keep making me wanna rob your store :)
I hate that combo. All of my Fenders - including 57 P-bass - have one piece maple necks. My PRS swamp ash special has a glued on fretboard and it plain sucks. I put together a Warmoth P-bass and I could only get a laminated fretboard with that neck. They are supposed to be a licensed Fender replacement outfit and can't do the necks.
Maple cap means a maple fretboard, since most early Strats and Tele's had one piece maple neck with the truss rod inserted from the back. So it's a separate maple board for the neck now, truss rod route under the fretboard, and the maple board glued on top, rather than just carving from one solid piece.
its so annoying when people say they like one guitar 'definitly' better than the other or others, like there is no question in it, its all opinion so shut up
well, james root uses a telecaster, but he switched it for EMG pickups to play his type of music, so really the tele body has nothing to do with it, it's just preference
dude, do you even know how many classic rock songs were recorded on a les paul? well... maybe you're right and jimmy page, joe perry, billy gibbons, joe walsh, pete townsend, jeff beck, peter frampton and the guy from free are wrong.
actually, the solo from stairway to heaven was played on a tele in mid position, and jimmy page still uses teles, just not much.jeff beck played teles in the yardbirds, so thats another user. also, all the others have probably used telecasters at one point.
sure, everybody's used tele's. they sound great for any kind of music. but buddy..., there's no way i'll ever believe jimmy page used a tele in mid position for the solo to stairway to heaven. unless, of course, he called me and told me himself.
Joe Walsh plays a Tele in the 1976 performance of "Hotel California"... Clapton played a red tele in the yardbirds,
Frampton played a Strat on his Midnight Special performance of "Show me the way". Pete Townshend's and Jeff Beck's signature models are Strats. (Seymour Duncan owns Beck's Esquire). And yes, Jimmy page played a tele on Stairway to Heaven. I have it in an interview with Page in Guitar World Jan 2002, (pg 94). The acoustic part was on a Harmony, and 12 string, a Fender electric 12.
yeah but the tele he uses has EMG humbucker on it, idk if this will still allow the twangy telecaster sound, but they changes their guitars very often, at least Mick: he has B.C. rich ones, too and used to play jacksons with a V shape.
Where are all your Tele's and strat's made?? USA? Japan? Mexico?

Noob Question: Can someone please tell me what a Maple Cap neck is? Does that just mean it's a maple neck, and maple fret-board?

@Dugger1997 Yes it does . A Rosewood Cap would look "black" on the frontside and "white" on the backside.

Are you sure about that? I think maple cap means maple on the top of the body--like a Les Paul has.
