MikeRom Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 Was poking around on the Wildwood site, found a SG Autum Busrt. I said, honey look at this, it's the one I told you about the other day. She said it's nice, did you add it to the cart? .... jaw hit the floor ... nearly fell over backwards ... who is this women? Better check the house for pods ... j/k really, wasn't quite expecting that reaction but OK. Also been gassin' for a blonde tele cuz tele's just sound great for the blues and I love the blonde color. On the other hand, the SG is gorgeous and with a carved maple top, nice. Tele SG Autum Burst I'll be playing the Jeapordy music in my head while you think it over.
rocketman Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 Oh boy! Tough one here. What do you currently own?
Thundergod Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 Get the Telecaster man, you'll never look back.
MikeRom Posted April 20, 2009 Author Posted April 20, 2009 Oh boy! Tough one here. What do you currently own? Right now I have the standard faded in my avatar.
djroge1 Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 I personally don't like SG's. However, get the one that is worth more and play it for a while then sell it and get two cheaper fenders.
solacematt Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 Play em both through your rig and see how they play and sound. In the end, it's really about what feels best and is right for you. No one else can really tell you 'this fiddle will be the one for you.'

No one else can really tell you 'this fiddle will be the one for you.' [/quote'] Agreed. For me, my next purchase is going to be a 339 (Are Nine can call me a girl all he likes but that's what I'm doing!). After that it's a tele for me. Sorry TG, Murph got to me first with his 339. But I've never been an SG person so the above advice sounds good to me...

I did play a similar tele not long ago and shortly after I bought my Paul. It was great. Wondered at the time if I didn't make a mistake buying the Paul ... hmmmm

FirstMeasure Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 Out of the two I'd go for the Tele. Like Blonde teles, but not Crazy about dark bursts on the SG. Hides the features (Strats too). Now if it was a nice Amberburst of Honeyburst........... But it's your taste, so you must like that dark burst. In that case I'd say get the SG because it's elegant and different. There's lotsa Blonde Teles.
charlie brown Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 Ahhhh...buy 'em both! ;>) Two different sounds (and scales). But, since you have a LP already, the Telecaster would give you another quite different tone option. But, SG's are great! Especially if you "live" in the upper fret areas. CB
recsec Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 I'd go with the Tele. I just got a Korean tele with seymor duncans and a set neck with a carved top. It's got the tele sound as well as the darker Gibson Dual Humbucker sound as well. It's a better player than either my Les Paul, or my Strat. (That may be just cause it's new!) Epi Les Paul Custom Silver Burst Fender Strat HSS Fender Telecaster HH
:oilpit: Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 I would say get the Tele, but try it out first. There's nothing worse than a bad tele, because they are BAD. But a good Tele, well, I'd say it's even better than a Les Paul. I have a Tele with a humbucker in the neck and it rules. Anyway, I say tele...
Californiaman Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 I like the Telecaster with Humbucker. If I didn't have my heart set on the Sea Foam Green Custom Telecaster, I'd be getting the one you posted.
Murph Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 If you can do a 7.25" radius you're a better man than me. I hate em'. I like SG's.
MikeRom Posted April 22, 2009 Author Posted April 22, 2009 Well appearently I mis-understood. She likes that guitar and wants to buy it for me. OH! Okay. Order it today. Should have here by next week. I think I'll name this one, gonna call it Karen. Or do you think I should use my wifes name? :) :D
daveinspain Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 Tele.... EDIT: I would normally have said the SG but I just think that one is ugly as hell....
BIGBENDS Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 Tele.... EDIT: I would normally have said the SG but I just think that one is ugly as hell.... Me too. I don't care for the look of the Autumnburst SG, but it might be a great sounding/playing guitar. I love the SG Korina guitars I've seen at Wildwood. ( hint, hint)
