help with ishibashi's tele

[incara]

hi, i've problems with ishibashi's webbie about this telecaster i've been wanting. they have two colours which is the OWB(off white blone) and VNT(vintage natural)

i saw this MIJ tele in harmony central's forum

[/img]

can anyone help me identify the colour of this guitar?
or should i just email ishibashi with the image?

anyway, anyone has any views of this MIJ tele? its a 52' reissue like in the picture but without the bigsby and with US vintage tele pups.

thanks alot.

hey whats that long thick stick? whammy bar?

 

[incara]

yeah its a sorta whammy bar, something like i floyd rose but its a bigsby.

check this page for the model number and write to ishibashi with that model number to check for the availablility...

i think its called Butterscotch Blonde :?

or Vintage Natural.. either one

my guess is Vintage Natural

correct me if i'm wrong :wink:

 

[kentheman2000]

Bigsby on a tele... Gives the ol' country look a boost of sexiness!

 

[gsonique]

send them that pic ... :roll: they got email you know !!

 

[napalm]

i think its called Butterscotch Blonde :?

or Vintage Natural.. either one

my guess is Vintage Natural

correct me if i'm wrong :wink:

probably vintage neutral. i think butterscotch blonde looks a bit "creamier"

 

[DT]

yea thought so too 8)

 

[shredrat]

hey peeps what does the bigsby do?

 

[DT]

it's a kind of whammy

 

[shredrat]

oh just a ordinary whammy?

 

[Belbel]

yup, butterscotch is a thicker, creamier finish. this is natural

 

[DT]

yeaps... works the same way

used to bend the pitch of notes or entire chords... either by tightening or loosening the tension of the strings

but i think the bigsby is more suited for downbends rather than upbends..

cus lifting the arm too much will make the spring fall out

 

[DT]

then i guess it should be vintage natural

 

[shredrat]

hey...in that pic,that whammy bar's pretty tight i guess.but in my case,the whammy bar's pretty lose and sloppy,anyway to help tighten it?

 

[incara]

haha okay. thanks everyone for their input.

so i should just email the picture to ishibashi i guess. i hope they get me!

anyway i've emailed them about it. its just that their colours on their webbie's a little confusing. they're not gonna have stock until like january but i guess that's fine by me.

THANKS EVERYONE

by the way, should i get a tele or strat? i find that MIJ strats necks are much more rounded compared to ibanez necks, cause i've been playing on a ibanez.

shredrat : i guess it works on a different system as the floyd rose. as in the entire bigsby/floyd rose is like different. i dont think you should worry that much about the dangling thing, at least it doesnt get in your way when you're playing.

 

[freshjive]

bro off topic a bit...how much does it cost to import the tele to sg? ive been checking out ishibashi's website too and im thinkin of getting a tele.

 

[incara]

haha why dont you pm them to ask?

its roughly around 1k +/- including shipping and everything. check with them again. they reply real fast.
