Brian Baker plays one of those live quite a bit

[jimmyjazz 45558]

Wow, that's beautiful.

It would crush the resale value, but I'd prefer it even more with the tone and volume knobs hard-dimed and non-existent.  I never twist those things anyway.

You need a volume knob with a P90. They clean up really nicely with it down a bit.

I don't.

The aforementioned strap. Been on my shoulder every time I've played for a few decades.

 

 

[topochico 1049]

I’ve shown this before, but since we are extolling the virtue of P90’s…

I'm sure that guy thinks he upgraayyyydddeeed it.  But he basically tanked the value.  Seems like a deal for someone who's looking for players grade.  Cause you'll never get collectible value out of it.

[Celery Man 20886]

I agree with jj btw. No knobs. If I wanted to clean up we’d play horse. That guitar is pure sex.

[jimmyjazz 45558]

Now I want to build a parts Tele with a single P90, no knobs, no switch.

Somebody dare me.

[Bogeywon 2518]

to many weird headstocks. Here’s my PRS vine. Stock photo of what they sent me before I bought it

what kind of bridge is our tele going to have

This with a blank control plate after you dime everything? You can have it by the end of the week!

Hardtail, natch.

[tbone_ 14025]

Why no volume knob. That seems essential to me.

Not the way I "play".  Honestly I'd just like to see what the cleanest possible build would look (and sound) like.  Of course, I'd be committed for life, nobody would buy it.

I'd fancy mine up a little with a volume knob and a wrap around bridge.

That’s a bit over the top don’t you think?

Who let Liberace in here?

[AnotherUTFan 9680]

Personally I like having both Volume and Tone. They come in handy. Especially tone.

[tbone_ 14025]

I don’t think I’ve ever turned a tone knob on a guitar on purpose.

[AnotherUTFan 9680]

You should. There are a lot of good tones down there and its a good way to be less loud without being less loud. There's a reason people a so esoteric on tone caps, and tone caps don't even come into play until the tone knob hits 8.

I've checked them before to make sure they are all the way up.

[dcbc 14407]

I roll them off on single coil bridge pickups somewhat regularly in deference to any dogs within a three mile radius.

Man, I'd turn the bridge pickup on my Tele up to 11 if I could.

If you gotta have knobs, you gotta do it right, like the ones that came with my pawn shop Epi LP Jr. 

 

 

[Buzzrock 14871]

NGD. Too bad I won’t be home until the 26th.

[Deej 76568]

Shipped this morning. Yeah, you might think it's ugly, but fuck the haters. 😆 

[Deej 76568]

And they are only making 1,000 of them. If the prices of the ones they released in 2007 are any indication, the value should go up. Those were a poly finish, too. These are nitrocellulose. 

[tbone_ 14025]

Did they drag it behind the delivery truck or something?

[G650 14106]

It reminds me of the Rotoscoped part of the Money For Nothing video.

I hope so

 

[Deej 76568]

I had played two copies of the old version and, looks aside, they were two of the best Telecasters I'd ever played. Always wanted one. We will see if the new ones compare.

[Deej 76568]

Looks to be the first real demo and examination...

 

[Buzzrock 14871]

This is not encouraging

I remember when west guitars? I think that’s their name shipped me a Gibson ES 335 I spent almost 4k on in just the Gibson box and left it on my door step for anyone to steal. That was fun

what is the name of this photo effect

i keep not being able to believe my eyes that I'm seeing an unedited photo with that guitar. Which I think is... joe strummer guitar is by definition cool but I think the mindfuck I'm experiencing with the pictures is also cool.

[Deej 76568]

Sweetwater also takes really washed out pics of their stuff, which I don't understand. Every guitar I get from them looks much better in person. The pics and videos of the Strummer without all the harsh lighting look much better.

Everyone who saw that box on your door step probably thought it was some sort of sting operation and way too good to be true.
