I like telecaster becos it looks cool... so is it the right guitar?
- Thread starter Dwichiesa
- Start date
How about the volume knob? I've seen some of the telecaster has a different volume knob from the stratocaster one. Does it really make any difference?
Let's say if I were to go to a music shop and try out the guitars, usually hw many guitars do ya'll try? like is there any unwritten rule of trying out guitar, like for an example 20 mins is e max before u decide whether you should buy the guitar anot? or any other stuffs?

The volume knob on the tele is just chrome, doesn't affect playability or tone.
Its up to u to decide how many guitars u wana play. Its ur call. U want to find out the best guitar that suits u before u part with ur hard earned money. Some shops will be kind enuff to let u try as many guitars as u want but other shops might be concerned about it.

Uncle Davis now so much better really. Last time in school uniform we walk in immediately we would be chased out. Haha the good ol' days of service~ Swee Lee wasn't as friendly to uniformers either...
Music Theme, ah now that is one shop with an uncle that should wake up his idea. I guess their young staffers are ok, the uncle whom I believe is a partner, really has no respect for a musician wanting to try out an instrument.
I get stared at alot when I do go into Guitar Connection, usually with a friend who wants to cause I don't like to go in if i don't have to. They haven't chased me out yet but the stares are not nice.
If you wanna try really no limit, just check it out and if you don't feel its right, just put it back. Don't spend 1hour playing your broken Stairway intro then say nah its ok thanks I don't like single coil.
Once me and a friend spent 2 hours at blackwood blasting pedals. They closed late for us and they didn't chase us out at all. In fact we may have peaked interest on the pedals we were trying with other walk in shoppers. That was a cool evening.
Oh and CIJ Fender Teles? Awesome stuff for their value. My Tele has a CIJ rounded V chunky neck that I like alot~ Check out the Paisley Tele that's at Music theme. 1.1k i think, and a lovely guitar. Too bad the uncle rather switch off my amp then let me think about purchasing it.

I've had great experiences with Davis...I go midday and the staff is always helpful...but I'm older so maybe that's it. I just picked up three danelectro pedals from them and they wanted me to try them out...i was happy to just buy and walk out as the store was crowded.
I will say some young kids stand around wasting too much time obsessing over picks and other low cost things...I was trying to look at pups but couldn't because of all the young kids looking at 1 dollar picks...it's not a big deal, grab one and move out
What's the name of the shop nearby with all the vintage Fenders? Those guys are the rudest people I've ever met. I was looking at buying a 2-3000 guitar and the staff there treated me like I was an idiot and wouldn't give me time of day...so I left. I won't buy crap from those guys...rudest and worst service I've ever received. The guy who works there acts like he's so cool because he works in music store... reality check dude, you're a loser at least have some pride in the work you do, then you'll be cool....not because you chased out a white guy looking to spend big bucks on a guitar....
On tele's keep checking soft and go try them out. I've decided they are the guitars for me even though I love my strat and it's the best playing electric I've had in years....but need to find a tele that beats it and so far a lot aren't.

got to know...
I got to know that wat seperates a tele from other guitars is it's bridge, The bridge some how resonates to the wood better as it has a string thru and also a lot of surface area to connect to the body.
And actually to me it seems that compare a MIJ to MIA, the diffrence mite jus be from the pups. A lil from QC but i dun think there's much difference. But well done on deciding to buy a tele, I used to own one and i can say that the sound is just special no other brand can simulate it's tone(and mine was a MIM how bout it?)
But do check out all da sales dats goin on, mite get a vgood brand new one for that price range.

Doubt the mid year is coming since they are already having 30% discount now already . . .
Anyway, Tele with humbuckers are way cool.
Check this out... JOSH FARRO (Paramore) with his Tele Deluxes!!

Tele Deluxes are cool. Used to be shoegazer guitar of choice...Radiohead and others used to use them a lot...now Thom is on to SG's. I worry a bit about the Deluxes now bc they are very trendy (along with Jazzmaster)...almost like they're the Jackson guitars of our generation I wish they'd do a MIA reissue for the guitar though...vintage are too much for me
