Angry Tele

i didnt know you can get corian at home depot, I would have used that to fill in with the soda. thats the best method.

thats a tele

im not having any problems with tuning, so the nut is OK. although recently ive been getting some creaking when bending but I put some Reel Oil in the slots and that fixed it.

Maybe its the pic that makes it look worse than it is.



my fender nuts are a bit wider and deeper though

i had to do this with my Gibson, the high E all of a sudden was too low, it wasnt like that when I bought it.

anywho I took some baking soda, dipped my finger in it and smahed it into the slot and blew off the excess, repeated and then applied a small drop of super glue. Worked like a charm and you cant hardly tell but for some sheen on the nut

I got lucky and did not have to file it, it was just right.

MIM LA CABRONITA TELE!!!

mayer banged hank williams' granddaughter too, wonder if she wrote a song about him?

great player but hes like a really hot dumb chick.as long as she doesnt say anything shes tolerable.

well I wasnt there so i couldnt take pics.

skyforger was cool, what happened?

there was a gangbang? damn, I miss all the fun.

based on this I say yes! It can only bring the LOLz

I used to have the same amp. a 68 silverface dual showman in a 65 blackface showman head...played through my twin reverb speakers is was not as loud and a bit darker.

the twin reverb is very similar and it did indeed "catch on"

maybe because Fender has so many amazing amps that they all competed with each other.

i think its great. One step closer to realizing a holodeck.

I just use a single slab of steel with 6 guitars attached.

I use leftover steel from when they built the golden gate bridge.

it is true different strings of the same guage can have different stiffness or slinkyness.

The most obvious for me was Snake Oil Brand, they were so stiff compared to d'addario I ended up, going down to 10s from 11s.

Ernie Ball are pretty slinky, try them.

another thing you could try is put 11s on for a few days or a week, then when you go back down to 10s it will be much easier. sounds silly but it works.

the whole heavy=beefy works but mostly if you play dead clean. If you use any dirt or od the beef appears/disapears IMO. Listen to Page and his 8s from Song Remains the Same CD, some of those tones are KILLER!

beef is in the pickups and amp.

downtune half a step

I agree. The bridge I have is a Hipshot but it looks like an old G&L bridge....and for clarification I can get my Flatline to twang a little, but all my other Teles do it so much better.

I think if I had a trad tele pickup it might bring the twang but who knows. It really is a combo of everything (pickups, bridge, wood and scale)

Here's a Flatline in action...cant say it twangs but its a cool video of my guitar.

or just steel

nope and it doesnt twang

I havent found that. I have a trad tele in every way except the bridge pickup is a p90. It does not twang. Maybe a little playing dead clean, but all my other Teles its very hard to dial the twang out. You can hear the twang unplugged BIG TIME.....Rather that trying to enhance some gossimer link to twangness.

theyve been arguing about this for 10000 years...but my lowly take on it is that its a combination of trad bridge pickup, bridge assembly, and 25.5" scale.

Roadworn Teles have no baseplate and they twang so thats not it. 6 saddles twang so thats not it.

I have a p90 in the bridge of a tele and it does not twang. But it also has a unique bridge assembly. Then again GE Smith Tele twangs and has a cut down plate, and pickup mounted into the body.

I guess, nobody knows for sure.

If I wanted to maximize twang Id be sure to include the bridge pickup mounted to a baseplate, 3 or 6 saddles doesnt matter, string through or top loader doesnt matter. So, bridge pickup, assembly, single cut, and 25.5" scale should pay homage to the twang gods nicely. wood? ash, alder, basswood, should work. neck, maple and rosewood works.

meh...throw a dog ear p90 on and its a win.

there is such a thing as too naked.

that sounds like craziness to me. Guitar+guitar and maybe some cash is fine, but guitar+amp? no way in hell. But, I cant stand birds or moons, or fancy paint jobs so Im biased.

What is this strange and alien concept of "almost pulling the trigger"?
