merciful-evans Posted July 21, 2020 Report Share Posted July 21, 2020 I just did a search for it. It comes up zero. Is the model number correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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

OrdinaryNimda Posted July 22, 2020 Report Share Posted July 22, 2020 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrdinaryNimda Posted July 22, 2020 Report Share Posted July 22, 2020 Yeah, Frampton really did have 3 on an LP. My view is, only Strats are allowed 3 - and NOT h'buckers at that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep and Rush made YYZed not YYZ. You still listening to Night Vale or was one enough. Carlos has perfect hair and Big Rico's has the best pizza in town.

rct Posted July 22, 2020 Report Share Posted July 22, 2020 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrdinaryNimda Posted July 22, 2020 Report Share Posted July 22, 2020 One question on the 3-saddle Tele - does it intonate properly? (I have never owned one, but heard some ugly stories...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rct Posted July 22, 2020 Report Share Posted July 22, 2020 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I have never owned one, but heard some ugly stories...) You just have to split the difference and settle. I owned 4 or 5 Teles. 2 with the tree saddles. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wore a hat so it was hard to tell. That place is long gone. I think it's a Walmart now. Edited July 22, 2020 by Sgt. Pepper 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
