Members playdabluze Posted May 27, 2005 Members Share Posted May 27, 2005 This used to have the Lace Sensors in it (2 reds/bridge, 1 blue neck). Didn't care for the tone at all. So it turned into this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you have to route it for the humbucker? Thanks! No. The rout that was already in it was big enough for a HB. And there was a separate "swimming pool" rout big enough for the two single coils. So, no routing needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members vmann Posted May 28, 2005 Members Share Posted May 28, 2005 Hi. I absolutely love my Tele Plus. Just finished my practice routine with it and it is as close to being a keeper as any guitar I have had. I have only had it for over a month but it has made my Standard USA Tele expendable. The cleans are dead quiet and sound very chimey and bell like; very similar to my EMG equippedStrat clone. Not much noise either when you add dist./od. I don't know about the silvers but these reds sound good to me:) . Very versatile with 7 pup options but what really impresses me most is the distinct tonal differences between pup selections. Even between the front red and the rear red. Hope this helps... Thanx,Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members vmann Posted May 28, 2005 Members Share Posted May 28, 2005 I run the Tele straight through a Tech21 TM60 and through a Jekyll and Hyde into a SF Twin Reverb. Excellent results through both amps. Thanx,Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members vmann Posted May 29, 2005 Members Share Posted May 29, 2005 I have also been thinking of getting a Power Engine. Would be great to have the flexibility of running my TM60 in stereo or running a different preamp through the PE. Might even look at another TM60. Those PE's are tough to come by in Canada. But right now I am trying to raise some funds for a Pearce G2r combowhich would be just as good and more versatile. Again, I just finished another practice routine with the Plus and the TM60; simply a beautiful match IMO. As always with the TM60, there is the challenge of the shared EQ controls and taming the pronounced treble on the clean channel but with the Plus that problem is lessened. The Lace Sensors sound pretty good through both the TM60 and my SF Twin Reverb. Those are the only amps I have tried with the Laces. I haven't cranked my amp up too loud or used it in band situations yet but from the few times I have turned it up, I have no doubt that the tone quality remains consistently good.

Members teardrop Posted June 1, 2005 Author Members Share Posted June 1, 2005 Originally posted by reaper what do lace sensors sound like? they sound kinda different, they dont have that vintage fender tone, but more of a compressed clean sound that goes really well with fx pedals or a lot of processing, clean they sound alright too.... but im thinking of replacing the pots in a tele plus with 500k's, i hear that really improves the tone of the laces.

Members VanR Posted June 1, 2005 Members Share Posted June 1, 2005 playdabluze did you have to route out the body for that middle pickup? I just bought a Squier tele that I haven't gotten yet (in layaway) and I was curious how they are routed. That is exactly what I want to do to mine H/S/S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is exactly what I want to do to mine H/S/S I didn't have to rout anything on the Tele Plus. It came that way from the factory. However, I too have a Squire Tele that I've also swapped the pickups on, and that's the standard S/S routing. If you want a H/S/S in your Squire, you'll have to do some serious routing, or have someone do it for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just got a bunch of HB's and Strat single coils already laying around here, I was hoping to use them. Anyone used that GFS Hot Li'l Puncher for tele yet?
