Members csm Posted August 23, 2007 Members Share Posted August 23, 2007 Where'd you get that statistic from? Hardly anybody I see around London has done that, tho' many of the younger bands favour MIM reissue Tele variants like the Custom and Deluxe, which come ready-made HB-loaded.

Members GRANKOR Posted August 23, 2007 Members Share Posted August 23, 2007 the amp forum is full of retards, the only statistic you can believe from them is 90% of them are into 'BR00TAL HI-GAIN ' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ged LST Posted August 23, 2007 Members Share Posted August 23, 2007 I'm with ya man, why would you want to do something like that for? And when people do put them in... they're not even on an angle! They put them in straight, what the hell!? Also with you csm, not like I see a lot of people doing it. Probably because they know better - Ged Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Burningleaves Posted August 23, 2007 Members Share Posted August 23, 2007 put humbuckers in their strats and teles. Wtf is wrong with people? Interesting. I figured it would be less these days. Especially for strats because you can just buy them stock with humbuckers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Metalrulez Posted August 23, 2007 Members Share Posted August 23, 2007 Whats wrong with people that put humbuckers in a Strat or Tele?? Not a damn thing!!It's all about personal preferance. Remember when it comes to a guitars configuration its the players opinion that matters not the rest of the world.:phil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members strat6866 Posted August 23, 2007 Members Share Posted August 23, 2007 Where'd you get that statistic from? Hardly anybody I see around London has done that, That's because 90% of them take them back out and put the SC back in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members strat6866 Posted August 23, 2007 Members Share Posted August 23, 2007 Yeah, a humbucker in a Tele is a terrible thing..just ask Keith Richards.... Keith put a humbucker in his Tele:confused:........he must be snorting something! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jlw001 Posted August 23, 2007 Members Share Posted August 23, 2007 I vote for HBs with splits too....... However, I also vote for having a stratocaster with HBs and splits, but a tele with hot singles like P90s or 1/4 pounders..........although a tele with filtertrons is to die for!!

Members 59humbucker Posted August 23, 2007 Members Share Posted August 23, 2007 For me, I only like strats and teles with singles singles, anything else and I feel you lose the character of the guitar. I love humbuckers, but fitted to different guitars. IMHO if you have a strat with a couple of humbuckers and a floyd, you may as well have got a different guitar, though I realise for some it may be a comfort thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Professor Tom Posted August 23, 2007 Members Share Posted August 23, 2007 If you try and trade in a Strat or a Tele, the first thing they'll look at is whether any wood is missing under the scratchplate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members csm Posted August 23, 2007 Members Share Posted August 23, 2007 Keith put a humbucker in his Tele:confused:........he must be snorting something! Yeah, but watch him closely: he seems to have superglued his selector switch into the bridge position. In other words, he sticks a HB into the neck position of his Tele and then uses it like an Esquire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gravity Posted August 23, 2007 Members Share Posted August 23, 2007 It's because, in general, HB's help cover up sloppy technique through gain. HB's also help compensate for sub-par amplification, or at least compensate for not knowing how to properly dial an amp in. That being said, I play more through HB's than I do SC's. But I have guitars with plenty of different configurations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Sunshine86 Posted September 22, 2007 Members Share Posted September 22, 2007 I don't advocate humbuckers in Strats or Teles nor do I advocate Br00tal hi-gain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members -todgemistro- Posted September 22, 2007 Members Share Posted September 22, 2007 nor do I advocate Br00tal hi-gain. Neither do I, but I still like bridge humbuckers in strats The bridge strat pickup is ok but I find it gets too grainy and hollow with a moderate amount of gain, which is why I'm going back to a HSS setup. However, if I ever get a tele, its going to be SS, I hear teles are punchier than strats in the bridge position anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Willyguitar Posted September 22, 2007 Members Share Posted September 22, 2007 Yes - madness. SCs rule, especially P90s in the right place! Of course, you are not considered to be a real man (or woman), unless you have a HB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get a really piercing tone, that sounds nice and tubey, but roll back the tone (if you have a good strat) and you get something a bit thicker. The tele bridge just sounds a bit average and middle of the road to me... (willy waits to get shot down) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
