Tele/Strat

[Session 5]

Would you rather have a Tele shaped Strat, or a Strat shaped Tele Hmm

For me a Tele shaped Strat. My custom T-Style and Fender Player Plus, both fit that bill.

 

[BFT Gibson]

Rather play an SG, but my Charvel San Dimas HSS is everything needed to play our set. It fits me better than anything ever picked up. Need single coil neck & SD JB bridge, always back n forth, dont use pedals live. Basically play The San Dimas & Kramer Baretta single pick up and use the others for some tone pop here & there recording. The WestCreek destroyer thingy with the Gibson Dirty Fingers bridge is spot on into the Marshalls but favor the strat type now.

But, the Charvel is a sassafras body & the Kramer is mahogany.. So, did get the Gibby type body response i favor.

1980 I wore out my 1961 Gibson :Les Paul SG Standard I was at a pawn shop they had a nice 1963 SG out of my price range
I picked up a 1971 telecaster broken body nice neck and they had a set of 1956 Gibson P90 pickups
I ordered a one piece Ash body Warmoth with a hard tail strat bridge I put the PAF out of the 1961 SG in the bridge
later on I put the P90 back in the bridge and it was my slide guitar next a 1969 Gibson gold top Deluxe for a amp repair

Help my feeble brain here, Norm. How are either of those Strat-like?

Tones my friend, tones. Gary I can get Strat tones out of my Tele shaped guitars.

I mostly reach for my PRS shaped PRS’s guitars, but I still like my Tele shaped Tele, and a weirdo shaped strat

More power to you then. I can't get anything approaching a Strat 2,3 or 4 position tone out of my Teles even when in single-coil mode.

Yep a Strat single coil is different from a coil tapped HB. Likely won't really tell the difference unless you AB them.
