Members Loobster Posted July 28, 2007 Members Share Posted July 28, 2007 As an alternative, you could buy a USA HH tele that will most likely have pups more suited to your liking, as well the more familiar fender neck. You can also take your pick from all the standard fender colors, albeit not a "flat" finish. You will not have black hardware, but overall it sounds like it may be your cup of tea. I've considered that actually. Firstly, that's probably gonna be a fair bit more expensive. Secondly, I really like the look of the JR model: with the the lone volume control, and especially the black hardware and the 70s logo. I also like that it's mahogany and will sound totally different to a normal tele. The USA HH is a nice guitar tho. I probably won't have the money to do anything to be honest. I need a new amp first.

Members jlb32 Posted July 28, 2007 Members Share Posted July 28, 2007 Am I the only one that thinks the black one with the maple fretboard looks way better than the white one with the ebony fretboard? Even though the guitar is not meant to sound like the typical tele, I just think the body shape looks way better with the maple fretboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Loobster Posted July 28, 2007 Members Share Posted July 28, 2007 I prefer the ebony board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jlb32 Posted July 28, 2007 Members Share Posted July 28, 2007 I prefer the ebony board. Really? I like ebony but to me it looks kind of funny on that guitar with the maple headstock. If the headstock was black or maybe even white to match the body then it would look better IMO. The black body, white pickguard and maple fretboard looks to me.

Members the.nameless Posted July 28, 2007 Members Share Posted July 28, 2007 I love Telecasters. I love metal. I love this guitar *counts pennies*. its like an affordable version of the flat-head if you ask me. i like the fact that it doesnt say "Jim Root" anywhere on it as well. He's a bit.. weird..

Well he is pretty cool for making it affordable. He wanted Fender to do the sig. exactly like his that was priced at under $1000. I do remember reading somewhere that they had planned on having his name on the headstock. Maybe they decided against it or the pictures we are seeing may not have it on there since it's not offically out yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jlb32 Posted July 29, 2007 Members Share Posted July 29, 2007 I wish the two would switch necks, the one posted with maple neck = still absolutely love this axe though +1. I love the Tele shape and for Fender to finally put out a mahogany Tele with EMG pickups is awesome IMO. If I do get one I'll have to go with the black one. I just love the maple fretboard on the black one. The white one IMO just looks kind of weird with the ebony board and maple headstock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to have an American Tele that had an EMG tele set up in it, and it was some of the most amazing tele twang tone I've ever heard. Everything from bell-like cleans to nice country grit. Oh, and don't worry my fretboard-weary fellows...I've heard its going to be available either way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
