Telecasters are the best IMO.
I own a v-necked MIJ 80's reissue (ash) with MIA texas pus.
looks great (MIJ's look the best IMO) and sounds great (pu are HOT)
I swore by teles during my speed metal days, and i still swear by them now as i do jazz and blues. I'd seriously recommend them to any metalhead.
THe guitar takes to distortion well, kinda like les pauls IMO.
Strats have this nasal sound which sounds orgasmic on the neck pu in clean settings.
But mid to high gain....... 8O
worst come to worst, you start sounding like malmsteen.
anyway,
i shall digress at this point...
has anyone tried the malmsteen signature.
I really loved the sound of the neck pu when its clean.
Its got this really bright sounding tone.
I LOVE the sound!!! And the scalloped fretboard!!
totally brings out the speed demon in you!!! such an ease to play..
Really explains how he can play so fast w/o warming up!!!
but when its distorted.......
I cringe., Yet again..... it's one of the horror stories which you will never tell your grandchildren (if you live that long after hearing that sound~~)
maybe i shall get a tele with acoustic outputs and a scalloped fretboard from the 13-21 fret~~
