i swear i'm the only guitarist on the planet besides stef that likes that pickup combination.

Nope. I love the middle humbucker too, especially in a 7 string. Hums sound amazing to me in the middle position.

Peace

i like it ... but it's not really a tele ... it's an alternative shape for a metal guitar. matter of fact ... an inverted ESP style headstock and it'd would rule.

i think it's more of a "mocking country" kinda thing anyway ... it's a fashion statement. i'm sure doesn't "sound" like a tele!

Who cares if it sounds like a tele. He's Stephen Carpenter from the DEFTONES. It's fine for what they do. Personally I had a USA BC Rich Archtop Neck-Thru Tele type guitar once that was fucking awesome. It had a duncan and was a great hard rock/metal axe. Metal teles are rad :yeswa:

nikt · 09-19-2006, 06:35 PM

mmmmmm the Meegs BC RIch, I will take it as a 7 string

ohio_eric · 09-19-2006, 06:35 PM

A seven string telecaster would be a good thing. Telecaster bodies tend to be bigger and have more mass that start bodies so they get more bottom end. So if they lose those horrible EMG's that guitar would rule.

7slinger · 09-19-2006, 06:41 PM

the white one looks awesome, I wish I liked the tele shape more, always far prefered a strat/soloist shape

i got no issues with that ... i'm saying implying that it's not a true tele is obvious.

lol i wouldnt be able to jam metal w/ a tele. it would feel so... wrong.

eleven59 · 09-19-2006, 10:54 PM

I'd kill for one of these in a 7-string, but his is badass as well.

Uh...how'd that last one get in there?

METAL_ZONE · 09-19-2006, 10:57 PM

I really like it. I think I might build something like that for my first project guitar. Ive always loved the tele design.

That white tele is pretty cool. +1 Vote for a neck 'bucker though. I'll let him off this time, as it's Stef's guitar and not mine.

metalfiend666 · 09-20-2006, 06:16 AM

I like those, the Tele is such an underrated metal guitar. It's such and unmetal shape it's extra metal when you play metal on it. Does that make sense?

My old guitar teacher had a USA Tele, just the standard bottom of the USA range model. That used to get some seriously nice metal tones from it's bridge single coil.
