My other tele is a Squier, nothing too exorbitant despite the manufacturer designating it into their upper-end offerings- The
Vintage Modified series. The monicker here alludes to the guitar's nature of incorporating both contemporary & modified features of the Telecaster's glorious history. Nevertheless, despite this reverance, the guitar remains ordinary but displays higher quality control as the Squier brand name often implies cheap & compromised. Rest assured, the Vintage Modified instruments I have tried (basses included) are above average despite being affordable.
The original pickups quickly made way for a pair of
TESLA Plasma II covered humbuckers. You might be aversed to this brand of electronics which hails from South Korea but they are very much worthy in terms of tonal delivery. The Plasma II possess a vintage voicing despite being hotter than the average 'vintage' unit (think PAF). The cleans also possess more sparkle, very complementary to blues crunch & a good tube amp.

hey i have 1 of these but i have a bill lawrence xl500 in the bridge and gotoh magnum machineheads
i have the GOTOH Magnum Locks in my Les Paul BFG/ LP Std- great for the money...
yeah they are. i love this guitar i use it with drop b tuning and it is still really good and the necks really playable.
bro they don't sell the tele custom here anymore do they... hard to find man. :S
standard stock- no more (as i was told). you can still order through BGW.
sub!!!
can you help me, cuz i don't think i'll be able to test this guitar before i buy...
do you think its a suitable upgrade from a rally GL? Is the neck thinner or about the same, and does it sound very different?
thanks :)
it's not an upgrade bro- you are not moving across tiers for sure. it's just a change of profile. the Rally GL sports a Gibson-esque attribute while the Tele Custom here is a bolt-on make. just be warned that there aren't any Tele-type tones in there, the neck width is a little wider but not as wide as a typical Ibanez RG. the Tele Custom has a rounder feel as well. expect a not-so-thick bottom end from the default pickups :-)
hmmm alright, thanks sub!
not sure what guitar to get next... was thinking of getting a swing, but i'm more of a humbucker person haha.
Swing's S100 is a good consideration; the HSS pickup combo gives a good tonal spread :-)
haha alright will check that out... looking at the R2 also, looks pretty sweet :D
thanks a lot sub ;)
