Jul 7, 2008 - i dont get what you are saying but i mean even with a pedal you dont sound good... you show it by playing nice. the main thing is that im saying that all the people are like... wow this guitar is the best sound... i mean all the guitars are the same and on this one you cant do many many many things.

joelpsero Says:

Jul 23, 2008 - I used to think the same thing, but that's your opinion. The body is not ugly to many people, including myself. When I was younger and dumber all I cared about was Ibanez, Jackson, ESP, and similar "metal" types of guitars with whammy's, and bought one myself. But I wised up and now have myself an American Tele. Yes, you can do screams, but it's not about that. It's about playing "music"; all that metal distortion is good to hide the non-musical playing of shredder-wannabe's.

Jul 23, 2008 - Good and wise man!

joelpsero Says:

Jul 23, 2008 - Disagree with that. Tele's can solo just as well as the Strat. I lot of people don't like the Tele "bite", but that's only a matter of rolling off the highs on you guitar, amp, or both!

joelpsero Says:

Jul 23, 2008 - I prefer the Tele because it come's without a whammy. I wish Fender would make more models with a hard tail, and maybe I would consider buying one someday. I HATE the whammy bar!!!!

mamonsin Says:

Jul 23, 2008 - yea but the thing that makes me mad is that all of those people just praise the guitar and not the skills of the player :SSSS

joelpsero Says:

Aug 11, 2008 - My point is, if you don't play cleanly the tele will make you sound worse; playing with distortion can hide sloppy playing, especially when playing fast. Take you own guitar, turn up the treble and turn down the bass (on guitar and amp)without any distortion or overdrive and try to make a fast scalar pattern. It's much harder; this is why people who don't like teles don't like teles. You can do just as much with a tele as with an Ibanez; just not dive bombs, which is no loss, just noise.

Aug 11, 2008 - u know u can take it out right

joelpsero Says:

Aug 12, 2008 - OF COURSE I DO!!!! But I would never buy a guitar with a whammy just to take it out. If I'm paying for a new guitar I do want it to at least look good for a while (until I bang it around myself!).

Aug 15, 2008 - My Ibanez came with a whammy and the bars pretty much been in the case for the last 3 months because I never use it, it just puts the guitar out of tune and hides poor playing.

rossmorris Says:

Sep 1, 2008 - i agree, i used to think teles were ugly, i wanted les pauls and strats.. now i own a gretsch and im looking to get a tele. its all about the nice curves and the classic look! and im a sucker for F shaped sound holes. so it may be a Thinline telecaster for me!
