Searcy Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Now... I still have my Fender basses. From my cold dead hands baby. And some days I wish I have my 74 Custom Tele back but I get by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookieman15061 Posted April 27, 2013 Author Share Posted April 27, 2013 I'll have to post some pics of my beat up 91 Tele one of these days. I gigged it for many years, and it shows. Come on Murph lets see a true relic job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izzy Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Its odd...The Strat bodied Squier I have (white USA 1990 I bought my last NGD) is VERY comfortable. The SG is no longer my go-to even though the action is a bit higher than on any of my Gibsons. I FLY now when I touch the LP or SG after training on the Squier, but I really like the crunchy sound of the Squire and how good it feels against my body, not to mention that it isn't super-heavy OR dipping down like the LP or SG. I never thought I'd like Fenders ever, now I'm keeping my eyes open for a Duo Sonic and a light USA Tele. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Versatile Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 The Mustang IMO is one of the true greats from the House of Fender... Terrific ergonomics And a potentially huge sound.... Dig it, Ride it, Crank it, Smell it... V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cookieman15061 Posted April 27, 2013 Author Share Posted April 27, 2013 I can't stand 'em either. I really dislike Telecasters. So twiz which one of your teles do you play more often and why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twiz Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 So twiz which one of your teles do you play more often and why? I play the sunburst more. The single coils are still something new to me. Tele > Big Muff > Vox has been my jam for the past few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dig it, Ride it, Crank it, Smell it... V The Mustang looked like one I was going to love but when I tried several...nothing. It didn't have the "huge sound" you mention. I tried a Thinline RI Tele and the ridiculously heavy Jhon 5 Tele on the same amp and setup with wow results so it wasn't the amp. What's the deal? Do you have to switch the pups? I really like the shape and look and feel but it didn't do a thing to my ears. :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buxom Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I'm too lazy to get a picture of mine. Yea, I have one. Haven't touched it in weeks, due to the Guild. I feel like a traitor. I feel ashamed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like the shape and look and feel but it didn't do a thing to my ears. :unsure: A quick look at the wiki page reveals the many big name players who have squeezed the Mustang to good effect... Personal inspirations being Hendrix, McLaughlin, Cobain, Winter and many more... IMX playing a Jazzmaster extensively helps in getting big tone out of the Mustang The ergonomics and unique switching of both guitars make for interesting experimentation A simple amp set-up with some delay and/or reverb is a good starting point As ever, much tone is in the brain/fingers...

Old Rocker 59 Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I love my Fenders and would never get rid of them. The one on the left is a 2006 modified, MIM Standard which has Fender Locking tuners and a Mint Green Pickguard w/ Mint Green pup cobers and Knobs along with Graph-tech bridhe saddles. The one on the right is my 2006 MIA , 60 th anniversary Special Edition Strat which has 57/62 pickups and a Cubic Zirconia in the headstock.
