NEW TELECASTER DAY.
AWESOME deal from RIFF CITY...
GReat place --- very impressed with the customer service.
THIS is a Squier Standard --- "demo" --- 167.00 DELIVERED--- "new " in box..........I am a HAPPY camper
Congrats on a nice tele! If you want to know anything about teles or pretty much anything else about guitars and amps, tdpri is a great place. Not as awesome as epiphonetalk, but very good for teles, and no corksniffers.
If it's a Squier Std Tele, it's solid agathis wood. i bought the same model last year, and have it partially stripped (well, sanded. Another year or so, it may be done.....) One caveat, if you elect to change hardware, the control plate is a tad wider than a normal tele plate, you'll need another plate, and new PG, the cutout in the stock guard will be too big....
thanks SLim!!! I was leaning toward the solid chunk of Agathis.....its actually very light ---- but then I am used to Fender jazz basses.....Thunderbirds and non weight relieved LEs Pauls so like a 72 buick is "light" lol
Well, GFS does make some good pickups, use some of them myself. For single coils, though, it's all Rose Pickups fpr me. Ya know how a well matched Duncan JB / guitar combo can hit more like a punch than a stab? That's how the Alba responds in a tele- thick and strong, no icepick, no dogs howling in agony. just authoritative, nasty tone. Next one's going in an SG...
