Congrats on the new Tele. :D

You said this has P-90s?? Those look like stock single coils to me.

That is an American Tele no??

Anyway, have fun and try the bridge pickup with slap-back delay. You will be in Tele heaven. :wink:

Wondering the same thing -- are the pix of your new Custom II or another? In any case, enjoy.

Guys, you should know by now, what I know about pick-ups (and electronics in general) could be written on the back of a postage stamp with a 6-inch paintbrush......

It's a MIM Tele.....and yes, I think they are the stock single coils. But I don't care what they are - I'm having way too much fun playing it to worry about trivialities. Last night I took it to the pub for the acoustic jam - ended up three of us took electrics! First time I've been for a while, must have played for about 3 hours virtually non-stop - I did NOT want to come home! On a sad note, Steve and Trish - the landlord and landlady - are leaving on Monday, so I don't know what's going to happen to the jam nights. But - they're having a leaving party Sunday, an all-day thing and we're all taking guitars - going to be the jam to end all jams!!!!

Oh and I've found MY tone - middle setting for the p/u's, amp on "Classic Rock" (bet that came as a surprise!) setting, quite a bit of gain and a little reverb. Hell, I wish I'd bought this guitar years ago.....

And Wes - I showed one of the guys YOUR tab for "All Right Now" last night - he said, "Damn, that sounds good - I've been playing that song for over thirty years and it never sounded quite right!"

It did last night, so yet again THANKS MATE!!!!!

:D :D :D

I'm going to have to give that setting a spin.

Hey I didn't know you were back Ray! Or are you back? Give me a ring tomorrow - Thursday! If you're not back till the weekend, make sure you get in the Victoria (Wagrave Road) Sunday afternoon - leaving do for Steve and Trish. Bringing a guitar is mandatory - I'm taking the Tele and the bass. PARTY!

Nothing wrong with Fender MIMs, I've played 'em and they're good guitars. :wink:

Have fun at the jam and write us a little report.

Glad you're still playing Alright Now, Paul Kossoff and Free were awesome. 8)

Sounds as good today as it did back in '70.

Nice guitar Vic! 8)

I've been messing about with my Pacifica set on the single coil in the middle all day. Never before has a single coil pick-up sound appealed to me but with my AD50VT set to Boutique Clean it sounds devine. :D
Enjoy your tele! :D

Nothing that a little trip up to GC or Sam Ash up on Capital Blvd won't take care of. :)
