damian Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Well, I got me another Tele, and did the Keef mod...Lost the low E string and tuned it to the Keef tuning.... Lotta fun.....I bought all gold hardware for it, including a Bigsby, but, the hardware won't fit............... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Bill Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Sweet....It really is a fun tuning Bill..... Eliminating the 6th string lets you jam out and not having to dampen it. A very care free setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 SWEET Tele! Is that a '52 reissue? I've played around with that tuning a bit too and it is a lot of fun but I agree.. It makes everything sound like a stones song. It can be a good thing or a bad thing haha I think Teles are the all around best guitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FirstMeasure Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 I did that with my Tele too. I don't care how hard I try, everything I play sounds like a Stones song. It's fun!! But I've heard Tone was all in the Fingers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G McBride Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 I picked up a 72 re-issue this month and have been playing it a lot lately. Two humbuckers and beautiful ash wood. Tuned it to open G yesterday and played around a little and you are right, everything sounds like the Stones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocketman Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 I think I've stated this a few times before (OK, well R9 will tell you it's been more like 10,000 times!) but I love Tele's and it's going to be my next purchase. Congrats on a fine guitar and I love the mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morkolo Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Nice Telecaster, if you plan on modding the wiring I wouldn't recommend the phase switch. I don't really find it gives any useable tones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damian Posted September 25, 2011 Author Share Posted September 25, 2011 Morkolo; Yes, I agree...Teles do fine with stock wiring....... Rocketman; Thanks....Ya know, I ignored Teles for 30 years, thinking them ugly and un-rock like..... What was I thinking ???? :unsure: .....I own a bunch now.....Teles with Bigsbys......Yup....Mod time !!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I agree Bill.....Playing the songs with the low E on, is counter productive..And it allows the bass player to " breathe." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
