merciful-evans 750 Report post Posted July 21 I just did a search for it. It comes up zero. Is the model number correct? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looks like Peter Frampton's old guitar. Not that its his, Just looks the same. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OrdinaryNimda 10 Report post Posted July 22 Not delighted about that third pickup either, all due respect to Peter Frampton. I don't wanta get exiled from this forum, but 3 pickups belong on a Strat - and only on a Strat. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OrdinaryNimda 10 Report post Posted July 22 Yeah, Frampton really did have 3 on an LP. My view is, only Strats are allowed 3 - and NOT h'buckers at that! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess when you start your own company and make guitars you can put as many or as few pups on your guitars. Edited July 22 by Sgt. Pepper 2 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Boris shaking hands in the hospital. Austen's Pride & Prejudice. Frampton's 3 pickup Lester. I'm the only one out of that collection to learn from the mistake though. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You still listening to Night Vale or was one enough. Carlos has perfect hair and Big Rico's has the best pizza in town. It's The only pizza place in town but it's still the best.

rct 1,543 Report post Posted July 22 Oh thank you. In my glory days, when the chicken wire was in front of the band to keep the womens off me, none of my strats had three pickups. Two pickups is all a guitar needs, including strats. Recent decade or so I just leave the middle pickup in so they are at least tradeable or sellable in a hurry. But for certain, Three Way Switch in all of my strats since back then. The five way switch is an abomination, I have never forgiven the ghost of Leo for allowing it. rct 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OrdinaryNimda 10 Report post Posted July 22 One question on the 3-saddle Tele - does it intonate properly? (I have never owned one, but heard some ugly stories...) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rct 1,543 Report post Posted July 22 Three saddles are a pain but yes, they intonate well enough for a bar band. If recording I might have to dink with it a bit. Two pairs of pliers, bend the saddles the way you need them, same as it ever was. I'd rather not have them, but I don't change them, never had a tele so bad I had to ditch the three saddle bridge. rct 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You just have to split the difference and settle. I owned 4 or 5 Teles. 2 with the tree saddles. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
