I like punk rock, but not punk rock made for 14 year old girls. And certainly not made by a 48 year old who wants to play dress up and dress like a 16 year old mall kid.

I'll take my Zappa, Yes , Crimson, Beatles ect. 6 minutes ago, Dub-T-123 said: Your loss man 😆 Not at all. I listened to them in the 90's and now they just bore me. GD are just a little bit edgier than Blink 182. Edited January 14, 2021 by Sgt. Pepper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't want people with 8 Teles to not buy another one so they can get a person with no Teles to only buy one. Seriously. I've used them my entire life and not ever noticed a problem. Buck up, Buck. There's no switch placement crying in guitar playing. lolz rct Oh I agree, I'm sure they'll never change it just because I griped - but since we were commenting on Fenders I had to put my two cents in. It never stopped me from playing a Tele when I wanted that distinctive tone, but since my last band folded I sold almost all my electrics (kept 1 LP and one semi-hollow) and I mostly just play acoustics now so no issues switching pickups 😧 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mihcmac Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 (edited) In the 60's there was an O.C. band called the Mustangs that had several guitar players all playing Mustangs with the exception of the main lead player who used a Duo Sonic. I have been intrigued by the hybrid Jazzmasters with real P90's, simplified switching and Strat Tremolo.

merciful-evans Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 On 1/13/2021 at 10:58 PM, Twang Gang said: I owned quite a few Fenders over the years and was able to adjust to them alright after playing the same Les Paul for over 20 years straight. But the one thing that I can't believe they never improved on was the pickup selector switch on the Telecaster. It is too close to the volume knob, and if you want to switch pickup positions mid song you almost have to stop picking and grab it with two fingers to move it. Can't get your pinky between the switch and knob when you are on the bridge pickup and want to go to middle or neck. Seems like a simple enough thing to fix after 70 years or so, but they refuse to do it. I've seen a lot of guys that unscrew the knob off the pickup selector to get a little more room in there (or maybe they just lost the knob?) It's just takes a flick of the hand if you want to go the other direction, but really tough to go from bridge to any other position 😡 Someone (think it may have been Phil McKnight?) changed the control plate on a Tele to allow more space. Somewhere on YT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
