Members Stackabones Posted August 24, 2009 Members Share Posted August 24, 2009 Some of y'all have already heard this guitar here, but I thought I'd make it formal. I got it a couple of weeks ago after GASsing for over a year or two for a P90-equipped git. This particular color (blonde) kept going out of stock, so I had AMS email me when it came in. When it finally came it, I ignored it ... but a couple of days I checked again and there was only 1 left in stock. Oh, sweet temptation. Here's the official NGD From The Darkside clip, I Know Your Name. Details about the recording follow the pix. The neck is true and quick. The color is gorgeous. I've never had P90s before, and I love these so far. Thet hum when alone -- moreso when near something that casts of humming frequencies (computers, freaky lights, etc). When run together the hum of course disappears, they can get some wonderful tones (it's cool to run both of them with the tone on the neck almost rolled off and the bridge all the way up). Pup selector switch is quiet and I love the possibilities of cranking one pup all the way and rolling back the volume on the other -- an option I haven't had with the typical tele setup. The price on this guitar is a real bargain, and AMS makes it too easy to buy with its 3-payment plan. Recording details Rhythm clean shuffle guitar and dirty & slide gits are all the Tele Custom II. Clean git is the Fender Super Champ XD Voice 2. Dirty gits are through a Pignose. This guitar still has the stock 9s on it. The bass is actually my Peavey Telecopy on the Joe Barden neck pup with everything rolled off and through the SCXS on the Jazz King setting bass dimed & treble zero. That bass thing is essentially an homage to Brewer Phillips, who from what I gather did the same thing in Hound Dog Taylor's band. The drum is a pandeiro. All vox are me. Recorded on Zoom H4n and messed around with in GarageBand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members totamus Posted August 24, 2009 Members Share Posted August 24, 2009 Sweet! - I have been playing electric quite a bit lately. I haven't picked up the Martin in a week. Neat config with the twin controls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members LiFeStArTs@40 Posted August 24, 2009 Members Share Posted August 24, 2009 Congrats! I have a cheapo squire telecaster with the cheapo pickups and think this guitar is a great deal. It's china made but the frets are dressed nicely and it plays like a dream for what little it cost new. It resides in my step sons room because he dabbles every now and then. Every so often, I'll play it and like it all over again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DarkHorseJ27 Posted August 24, 2009 Members Share Posted August 24, 2009 I've been tempted to get a tele copy myself. The one I'm interested in is the Parker P36, Parker's version of the telecaster. Other than the unusual body and headstock shape, it is straight up tele specs with a Fishman piezo bridge and preamp thrown in. And NGD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members masterbuilt Posted August 24, 2009 Members Share Posted August 24, 2009 A butterscotch tele. I had a black Tele once upon a time. I always loved that guitar. I do love Fender necks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members S~R~O Posted August 24, 2009 Members Share Posted August 24, 2009 Sweet.............I need to tweak my middle pup on mine. I am having fun with it, but am still working on dialing in the sound I want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members guildfire Posted August 24, 2009 Members Share Posted August 24, 2009 Nice one. I love my black '86 Tele. All acoustic players should have a Tele in their stable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members seagullplayer77 Posted August 25, 2009 Members Share Posted August 25, 2009 Nice lookin' guitar, Stack, my man ! And if what I heard in Love is Not Loved Enough is any indicator, it's a nice sounding guitar too. Congrats, and happy NGD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members T0MCAT Posted August 25, 2009 Members Share Posted August 25, 2009 I had one with humbuckers. I loved the neck. I thought it was a nice guitar for the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members guitarist21 Posted August 25, 2009 Members Share Posted August 25, 2009 Ahh, P90s. The "one that got away" for me was a blue Gibson Blueshawk for $525 in 2004. Ever since then I've been on the lookout for one, because it's definitely a unique sound. Congrats, Stack! It sounds great on the recording, the clean tone is especially awesome.
