Members Mercer Posted August 6, 2006 Members Share Posted August 6, 2006 So you want something that sounds like a tele with Humbuckers, doesn't look like a tele, and has a 25.5 scale length? You need a maple LP with a new neck in other words? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bob the dentist Posted August 6, 2006 Members Share Posted August 6, 2006 Originally posted by Jimmy310 A real telecaster is the only thing.I want a tele...i love the twangy sound. Listen to: The Autumn Rhodes For fans of Saosin, Thursday and Coheed and Cambria. There a 4-piece with one guitarist. Playing a Fender usa telecaster unmodified, Peavey 5150 into a Marshall 1960lead cab. Thanks for showing me a cool band!They remind me more of Moneen then the other bands you mentioned, but I still like them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members TomCTC Posted August 6, 2006 Members Share Posted August 6, 2006 25.5" scale length.Try it out, you might like the Tele tones out of it. Or the Strat tones. Or the LP tones. Or the other friggin' 22 instruments in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Beatleplayer Posted August 10, 2006 Members Share Posted August 10, 2006 Originally posted by surfcat Well, that and the humbucker pickups just might change the tone a smidge. Tele's look cool anyway-just ask John Frusciante. Don't ask me what the translation is though. Translation: This is down below to the left, buddies!

Members jumpinjackgas Posted August 10, 2006 Members Share Posted August 10, 2006 Originally posted by mparsons Its the unplugged sound of a tele that I love. Very bright, articulate, and clear. Single coils sound great for what they are but for my style of music ( metal ) they wouldn't cut it. ok what exactly is that sound you speak of.I am new to the guitar and would like to know thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jade68454 Posted August 13, 2006 Members Share Posted August 13, 2006 here is an inexpensive guitar that has everything you want but i have no clue what it sounds like http://cgi.ebay.com/SX-Guitar-Natural-Ash-Top-KY1-Double-Cut-KY1-ASH-22-NA_W0QQitemZ220014490770QQihZ012QQcategoryZ2384QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Splendor Posted August 13, 2006 Members Share Posted August 13, 2006 Originally posted by mparsons I wish someone made an ash superstrat or V, ebony board and 25.5". I'd be all over that. Here's one with all that minus the ebony boardhttp://cgi.ebay.com/Ibanez-Paul-Gilbert-PGM-800_W0QQitemZ270015496777This one has all 3.http://cgi.ebay.com/Washburn-N4-Nuno-Bettencourt-excellent_W0QQitemZ110019869742Also the ESP Jeff Hanneman is ash body, ebony board, and 25.5" scale...but I don't think they make one in a natural finish (which seems like what you want).

Members jeverist Posted August 13, 2006 Members Share Posted August 13, 2006 I was pretty floored by the sounds from the PRS Johnny Hiland model.

Members dot-dot-dot Posted August 13, 2006 Members Share Posted August 13, 2006 I would think that the Tele sound is mostly down to three things; the scale length, the pickup positions and angles and, erm, the expectation that a Tele will sound like a Tele.

Members Burningleaves Posted August 13, 2006 Members Share Posted August 13, 2006 A Gibson Marauder or S-1 will get you in the "tele-tone ballpark". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
