fender tele

[u2]

Any comments on this guitar? I am planning to get one...the yamah pac 112J i currently use isn't gig worthy.

I haven't tried a Tele, but the Strat is good.

Great guitars. Perfect Two pick up non trem guitar, whatever any Les Paul fans say. First electric put into production and still one of the very, very best.

ok i can't play much without a whammy bar...and i just tried this japanese tele...really nice sound..but i can't legato on it , i could legato on my yamaha pac 112J...

You know buying it would encourage you to learn stuff that it works well for.

fender has released some cool teles with flatter radius fretboards and bigger frets with 2 dimarzio "paf" humbuckers. I like traditional teles too, but they're not really setup for bending and similier techniqies. check out the Richie Kotzen model.they're sweet!

[anuj]

heh, about the only thing you can't do on a tele is divebombs and other whammy tricks. i switch between a standard mexican tele and my jem at random live and it really boils down to your fingers.

i am so excitied about it!!!1 Edge and vertigo!

OK urgent question , is it true that a fender tele is a very sensitive in terms of sound , tone and pickups? That every mistake can be heard clearly?

[Logic]

No more than any other guitar. Like the Strat the Tele has it's own tone. I have a buddy that has a lawsuit tele made by Ibanez. It is a very kewl guitar. nearly identical. It even has the fender tone.

sorry...does that mean yes the guitar is sensitive..or no..its just like any other guitar.

Listen to some Danny Gatton or Roy Buchanan. Lame is not the word that comes to mind.
