Members eethier Posted January 20, 2006 Members Share Posted January 20, 2006 Because of GAS, I realized it wasn't for my style of music (classic rock, blues) and I just need a 52 reissue telecaster so bad... I just got one little question, is the 7,25 neck of the 52 reissue is bigger or smaller than the one on the Flat Five ? how do they compare ? anyway check it out on ebay in a few days, here is one pic...

Members Trader Posted January 20, 2006 Members Share Posted January 20, 2006 Sure is a pretty thing. I wouldn't think you'll have too much trouble selling it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Garcia Posted January 20, 2006 Members Share Posted January 20, 2006 Originally posted by eethier nobody knows for the neck ? Dude, have you played a 52' RI Tele recently? Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love Teles, but I would not ditch that flat-5 yet. Honestly, just get a 50's Classic Tele for $450 used and you will be golden. Seriously. Those two guitars would complement eachother very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mattburnside Posted January 20, 2006 Members Share Posted January 20, 2006 You are ditching that amazing specimen for a guitar you haven't even tried out yet? BIG mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members CAC Posted January 20, 2006 Members Share Posted January 20, 2006 I don't understnd how that guitar cannot do blues or classic rock. I mean, I know a tele has a very specific sound that you might not be able to get with the Flat Five, but I wouldn't ditch it for a tele. Why not save up and add a tele later. You'll regret letting the Godin go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DonK Posted January 20, 2006 Members Share Posted January 20, 2006 I don't know of anything not made by Fender that is as curved as 7.25". Even G&L only goes to 7.5". Also, the '52 RI neck is fairly thick as necks go ('cuz that's how they made them in '52). It's not as thick as a Jeff Beck Strat, for example, or a '59 LP, but it's not as thin as almost all modern axes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members eethier Posted January 20, 2006 Author Members Share Posted January 20, 2006 I know it looks absolutely wrong, but hey... I've tried a whole lot of teles (even the Japanese 52 RI) and I just know its the the type of guitar for me, I can't put money on a cheaper one and I know I can't keep the Godin one more month because this guitar just doesn't feel right for me, i'll end up selling it anyway...

He could have left the planet for all we know. When I get GAS I never sell a guitar to buy another. Guitars ain't quite like wife's. were you can't have more than one. This is the one I bought in 1983 on 48th Street in NYC. I still gotz it too. Not a bad 400 bucks spent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members badpenguin Posted December 21, 2020 Members Share Posted December 21, 2020 I personally tend to trade to get what I want. I traded a couple of guitars for this beauty, and haven't looked back since! I think one was an Ibanez RG770 that I paid 50 bucks for, but I know it wasn't much over $400 worth of gear. my 1973 SG Standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members badpenguin Posted December 23, 2020 Members Share Posted December 23, 2020 The vast majority have them front mounted, with the exceptions being the Diablo I think, and the Supreme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
