Members Cyber_Chyld Posted December 17, 2007 Members Share Posted December 17, 2007 Strictly speaking NGD was over a week ago, but I've been too busy to stick this up yet! Girlfriend was over in Japan a couple of weeks ago, and following a few e-mails brought me this back on my behalf: EDIT:-Sorry about the picture size, don't know how to re-size the picture here short of modifying the original :/ It's a brand new, Crafted In Japan, Fender '62 telecaster deluxe re-issue. I'm thrilled with it. It's my first Tele, my first fender guitar (I have a P-bass), and also the first guitar with single coils I've ever really liked. I christened it a couple of weekends ago at a gig In leeds in front of several hundred people, I was so pleased with it. The Texas special pickups in it aren't bad, certainly very usable, although the bridge pickup can be a bit 'sqeueally' under gain, and the neck pickup could be a bit warmer/rounder. But out the box I'm happy. Put on a set of 11's, and it plays great straight off. Best part is I ended up paying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RothnRoll Posted December 17, 2007 Members Share Posted December 17, 2007 I bought the one with the bigsby and sold it last week on ebay. I replaced it with a Nocaster.I thought the build quality was excellent but it sounded very thin .. even after a good setup and pickup adjustments.I wanted a fat .. greasey tele and it didn't do it for me. It could have been the Bigsby though...I like Bigsby's on my Gretsch guitars.. but on a flatop.. they don't seem to work for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members The Birdman Posted December 17, 2007 Members Share Posted December 17, 2007 Happy New Guitar Day!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!!! 11s???? Can you say "Twang monster"???? It's gotta have great tone. If I was to get a Tele, yours would definitely be one I would consider. Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members antenna Posted December 17, 2007 Members Share Posted December 17, 2007 HNGD I have exactly the same one, colour too. I actually really like the neck pickup but agree that the bridge pickup is not particularly good. I am getting them both swapped out very soon anyway. I also am enjoying the 9's I just put on mine even though I usually play 11's... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad I didn't now as mine has some reall 'bite' to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger I use 11's any time I'm e-to-e, but putting them on the tele really brought out 'THAT' sound I was after. KerrrrAAAAAAnggggg! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to see if I can get hooked up. I want a real punk of a telecaster, something brash and aggressive, but not remotely modern Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cyber_Chyld Posted December 17, 2007 Author Members Share Posted December 17, 2007 why does the headstock look fiesta red? Haha, I think it's partly the lighting, and partly the camera. It's a very orangey-vintagey laquer on the neck, which has come out a bit pinky-red in the pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members hardtdc Posted December 18, 2007 Members Share Posted December 18, 2007 Sweet Tele and great price. Me luvs some binding on those. Those guys in Japan have no clue what they actually produce. The best guitars are made in that country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tincob Posted December 18, 2007 Members Share Posted December 18, 2007 Looks great. Nice! Love the double bound teles. Here's a Fernandes version of the '62 Custom. It's a MIJ too.

Well, I think this one's going to stay with single coils. I've two Les Pauls that do all the 'bucker stuff I need. I wanted a tele for that 'twang' and 'clang'. It's a bit weird having only 21 frets, but then, on a tele, what are you doing up there anyway! It's one of the best rhythm guitars ever made! Mine's got a Rosewood neck, and lovely bit of rosewood it is too. Really dark and 'chocolatey' in colour, mmmm..... I loves my tele Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
