It looks very good. Lots of good feedback as well.

I'm not sure whether you're used to using a guitar with wide frets like this, or more closely spaced ones. Just a point to watch out for. I use wide frets because my hands are large enough, and I find close-fretted guitars are difficult.

I had a Fender Bass many years ago, A lovely piece of gear.

It is toward the top of the Fender Tele range, so you could get something which sounds, feels and looks almost as good for much less than that. But it's only money, you can eat beans and noodles for a few weeks, and classic American-made Fenders are a lifetime investment 8)

Post by: trains on April 05, 2009, 16:35:59: Well there is one place near me that has the Tele, for $1,200, but where am I gonna get that money before someone buys it there?

And there is another reason I want that guitar(besides the fact I want an electric to go with my acoustic) Can anyone guess it? ::)

Actually not. To Trains, it will explain that I understand completely. But then he knows something about me that you don't... :evil: :evil:
Title: Re: Guitar
Post by: The Captain on April 06, 2009, 14:18:32: Actually so.

To say nothing is to say nothing. That's it. You can take the literal meaning and make it into another meaning, but that would be wrong, in a technicality. To say that you are saying nothing is just the shaping of meaning, making it a phrase, when it should in fact be the definition to say nothing.

To say nothing: To not speak or let one know of thought.

And I wish I knew you better professor :( ;D.

Post by: TerryRussell on April 06, 2009, 22:24:34: But you do now know that I used to play a Fender Bass.

And that I think the Fender that Trains is looking at is a fine piece of craftmanship.

Post by: The Captain on April 06, 2009, 22:26:56: I already knew that. You posted that 14 posts ago ;D.

What sort?

I'm a Warwick man myself, but I'd love a Steve Harris signature P-bass 8)

Post by: Master Captain on April 06, 2009, 23:58:18: looks cool, if you know guitar go for it, @ terry talking about feedback, i'm all too familiar with feedback, working in the theatre industry on the tech crew we get it all too often, annoying as heck :D and it was funny when the kid in the orchestra playing the upright bass was getting feedback ;D

I found the same one for $1200, but I need the money
Title: Re: Guitar
Post by: Jayshum on May 18, 2009, 02:08:22: Don't pay that much for a Telecaster dude. I speak from experience when I say, have a good look around first. I got a Gibson Custom 335 (Larry Carlton signature) for Â£950. The RRP for that is Â£4200. ;)
