Members jamdogg Posted May 4, 2009 Members Share Posted May 4, 2009 I have been waiting a dog's age for the powder blue P90 Tele to come back in stock. I'm on the fence with this new neck though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members scolfax Posted May 4, 2009 Members Share Posted May 4, 2009 I like the old one and the new one. Or, more accurately, I don't mind them. They would not be a deal-breaker for me if I was in the market for a sub-$200 guitar. I've never been a tele guy, but I really like that one in the OP. Maybe because I'm a sucker for the white/maple combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fusion1 Posted May 4, 2009 Members Share Posted May 4, 2009 Anyone know if the new P-90 teles in Vintage White is really Vintage White and not that slime green color I already have when I thought I was getting Vintage White last year?

Members DonK Posted May 4, 2009 Members Share Posted May 4, 2009 To me, it doesn't look any worse than the old one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members stratotak Posted May 5, 2009 Members Share Posted May 5, 2009 theres enough meat on the head stock to give it a telecaster look.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Fusion1 Posted May 5, 2009 Members Share Posted May 5, 2009 Reminds me of the 80's ROSCOE headstocks. They were always pretty cool to me, if not somewhat rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members katillac Posted May 5, 2009 Members Share Posted May 5, 2009 Here's another example of a guitar where the headstock completely ruins the aesthetic. None of the visual elements of the body are reflected in the shape. I disagree with you on that one. They only have so much leeway with headstocks on those before getting those legal orders to stop. I think they probably were going for an Ibanez style. I really like the Fulcrum in, of course, pink. I'm kinda diggin' the white one too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members axegrinder Posted May 6, 2009 Members Share Posted May 6, 2009 Which nut did you change it to? Looks interesting, like you took a graphite nut, cut a groove in it and placed a metal bar across the groove, then slotted it for strings. It's not quite as elaborate as you describe. Its a flat piece of brass mated (i.e. JB Welded) to a graphtech nut blank, then ground to size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members HanSolo Posted May 6, 2009 Members Share Posted May 6, 2009 Looks like the Jay Turser "dolphin-style" headstock on their Teles & Strats I did this to a Douglas, kinda, sorta like a Tele ... not enough meat where I needed it but close:Before During After Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members HanSolo Posted May 6, 2009 Members Share Posted May 6, 2009 I hate the new SX Tele headstock. I hope they don't change their Strats too. Ha, I better order an SST right now before they do. I keep looking at that candy apple red SST. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just generic enough to not get letters from The Big F, but still has some style to it. I love their rosewood Tele :drool: I like what you did with the Douglas headstock, other than the Fender logo. Are the frets on that neck a bit narrow or is it just the limited view I see? That's one thing I love about the SX necks - the nice, meaty frets.

Members Otis McGonigle Posted May 7, 2009 Members Share Posted May 7, 2009 I always thought Fender ripped off that headstock from a guitar from the forties. I think it was a Bigsby custom built for Merle Travis. I might look around and see if I can find it and post a link but probably not since I`m a lazy bastard. edit: I forgot to quote, but I am referring to some comments on the first page of this thread. I didn`t notice that this thread was four pages long. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members axegrinder Posted May 7, 2009 Members Share Posted May 7, 2009 ^^^I have one of those and it grew on me. I am not sure why except maybe because it's attached to an awesome neck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
