Sgt. Pepper Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 (edited) This guy did short history of Gibson Acoustics. I just started it, and he also did one on Martin and this one. Edited January 21, 2022 by Sgt. Pepper 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdgm Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 (edited) I will always want a rosewood Tele but with a more modern flatter fretboard. Edited January 21, 2022 by jdgm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notes_Norton Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 3 things I don't like about the tele 1) uncomfortable shape 2) weight - (too heavy) 3) short radius neck - (I prefer a 12 - 14" radius) One thing I do like about the tele 1) Tone Insights and incites by Notes ♫ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also with you about the 7.25" neck radius. And yes, even the flatter 9.5" are not ideal, but they are available with 12" rads now, and its about time. What I dont like about Teles: String spacing. Keep pushing those e strings off the edge (rolled edges don't help either). Its the only reason I don't own one.

Whitefang Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 I had to skip ahead several times to get to where the dork actually talks about the guitars used in "Get Back"(like the clip title promised). I was already familiar with the history of Epiphone and Kalamazoo. And the history of Epiphone and the Beatles use of them. Oh, and thanks for the SPAM warning(he said sarcastically).

Whitefang He did go in a lot of different directions. And the guy playing guitar to me adds nothing. I want history and facts. I know what the guitars sound like on the Let It Be album, I’ve had it for decades. How nice of John to give “The Hawk” his Braz D-28. Now worth a heap s-hit ton of $. And no one knows where it is except the owner since Ronnie traded it for a ‘74. Edited January 22, 2022 by Sgt. Pepper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retired Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Thanks for sharing that Sgt. Loved the different guitars and info, Yeah, I didn't see why they had the guy playing his guitar either. I never had a Strat or a tell but I wonder about them as my jag can be tricky to play. Before, I could never bend strings as they always went over the edge. I changed it out and as it is better than before, I rarely play it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The strings went over the edge of what? The fretboard? So was it the neck you changed out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So was it the neck you changed out? Sorry, I thought I typed bridge, The original bridge allowed the strings to move left and right about 1/4" or so. Yes, the top strings pushed to the top edge of the fret board and the high E kept going over the edge as I like to vibrate the bottom 2 a lot. A lot of times I pull downward some. I installed a different bridge on it. It is much better now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I installed a Mustang bridge on it. I guess there is a third choice and it is supposed to be better yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Yeah the Jaguar bridge is commonly replaced with a Mustang bridge and the third option you’re thinking of is an aftermarket part called “Mastery” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
