TEST: SX Thinline Ash Telecaster with stock pickup and VOX AC30 on Pod XT Live

After a couple of months... i'm still surprised about that guitar. I'm really fighter about to change pickups... i changed of most of guitars, but i really like how this one sounds, even if cheap or china or anything else... they play and they play great (and my ears works!). I'll think more about it, for now i put a new improvising sample on three position. Several youtube users said me they take decision to buy after seeing my videos, and i'm happy, because for this price... this guitar is a gift. No more posering about brands, and just take a hollow body tele at price of a good guitar case :)

Why do you have a scrunchie or hairband on your guitar does it decrease fret buzz or something

[rafport]

@adamphillips44 i put for some two hands tapping session to all my guitars (i buy a box full of hairband so i have even too many!), but after a while i leave from all not "technician" guitars, where i not plan to did such things over :) It has not buzz on headstock, anyway hairband do anything bad. I use frequently some mouse pad piece into strats for spring buzz under the bridge trem, this can be pretty unpleasant sometime. But this headstock was ok

Do you finally change the pickups?

[punkknup21]

[aceejay]

its not about brands man, its about how you make the instrument smokes and fly

@i mount a set of custom shop nocaster from fender, alnico 2 magnet vintage output, very twangy and country. more balanced than stock one (stock bridge was very good but a bit "violent", this one is very bright and cutting but with some softer and gestible tone, stock neck was a bit too dark the nocaster is much brighter). i'm not filming from some month but i intend put this and other mod i did on my guitars on late months :)

@rafport

what pick up did you put in?

[rafport]

@brtube569 at moment ìve wood, bridge, tuners and pots of stock and i changed selector (original pretty bad) nut (very bad) pickups (pretty good, but this new ones play better) string retainer on headstock (i put rollers). in this old video it was all stock, i just setup it, so starting quality is good, and it played better than several full price teles. now is one of smarter tele i ever played, i'll post something with new pickups soon
