When we go out to Milwaukee WI for the big bead festival I go to Cream City and stink up the Gretsch room confirming my lifelong inability to bond with them. They are like Rickenbachers to me, a mystery I will never solve. Can't hack the necks on either and I don't know why. Like Paul Reeds, same thing. rct the neck on the MIK one that I have is pretty comfortable. the MIJ Pro Lines might be another story. The scale is certainly not the same tho. But after about a week, I got it. that axe doesn't sound like any other axe I have tho. The stock pickups are really twangishy. Like a tele, but, not...

Yeah, there is the sound thing too. I'm pretty much in the same box I've been in for about 25 years now. I don't have a need for the sound, so that probably quietly confirms my failures with them. rct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mihcmac Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 My Explorer plays and sounds great, but I spend more time looking at it than playing it.

I don't get a lot of feed back out of mine and it covers a lot of territory. The shorter fret board does come into play if you are used to doing your pyrotechnic, nuclear fallout, pure wickedness shredding up in them thar nether regions. 🤘 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't do that very often. rct Yeah that's a good looking telecaster guitar RCT. You know I just bought a semi-hollow tele.
