what's your position on vibrato then?

Did I get the two terms confused? I can do that sometimes.

naw, it's not you, it's most of the world actually. my fender twin says it has vibrato when really it's got tremolo. guitars have what people call "tremolo" bridges, when in reality they're vibrato bars. i was just being a schoolmarm nitpicker since you were disparaging the whammy bridge in general. i'm just bein an assface is all.

Ah, well. I will remember that. Thank you.

Vibrato bars are for gae pussies.

Much better!

alright mr whammy bars suck. here's a guitar that has no whammy bar but can get you a strat sound, a tele sound, a les paul sound, and lots of other sounds, too. AND, it's local chicago.

i'd buy it but i already have one. mine's got the extra pickup so y'know, it gets like 1,200 different sounds instead of just 300.




and i mean, i dunno, you could always drop a wonderbar on it, y'know.

Please don't drop a wonderbar in it.

No that guitar looks pretty aigh-aght. Any guitar with a fixed bridge and three humbuckers is aigh-aight to me.

Hey, here's a trick I learned: If you want that "humbucker sound" on your Tele, just turn the bass & treble knobs on yer amp all the way down.

Presto!

I'm getting a TC-90

they're like double cut tele thinlines with p90's it's fucking sweet.



these are pretty tits as well.

The Tele-Sonic is WAY tits. I'd love to own, one, but aren't they ridiculously expensive and discontinued?

Are those DeArmond pups?

The users of these two guitars is an easy way to determine which is better
Jazzmaster: Sonic Youth & Dinosaur Jr.
Telecaster: Eric Clapton
You decide.

I have no doubt he owns one, but Ive always associated Clapton with:

Yardbirds: Les Paul? 335? I dunno.
Cream: SG
Early solo, Derek and the Dominos, etc.: Les Paul
80s/90s solo: Strat
New Millennium: Nylon-string acoustic

Perhaps I'm alone in this, but Ive never really associated the Tele with Clapton. Again, I dont doubt he owns one.

Tele = Keith Richards in my book. Or Roy Buchanan. Or Danny Gatton.

So obviously Teles make you kill yourself or shoot elephantine quantities of heroin.
