Topic: NGD!

Well it's about time I added a Tele to the stable and this one is pretty sweet. 1988 USA Standard dead mint. Got it for a great deal too. Now off to learn more chicken pickin' licks!

Here's a quick pic:

A six-saddle bridge? Sorry, man, what you've got there is a Strat with a pickup missing...   wink

Re: NGD!

he could have bought a Jim Adkin's Fender Tele.
its a cross between a Gibson P90 LP with TOM and 2vol-2tone and a hollow body tele

so Kev's still got a solid slab of tele.

What you've got there is correct intonation... Unlike those stupid three saddle bridges where perfect intonation isn't possible!! Teles are worlds ahead of strats anyway!!

Are you also an interior decorator?! Cool guitar! Can't go wrong with a simple blonde or white tele. -S

I really like it!  6 saddles or not American telecasters sound great!

Re: NGD!

Joe told me he uses the "green" channel with a fair amount of gain with the volume and gain knobs at roughly 2pm if I recall correctly...he kind of held his hands "karate chop" style in the 2 o'clock position which would be around 6-7...definitely the Green Channel though...I think I posted something about his DSL settings a while back....

It's a long-standing joke (or argument-starter, depending on who you're talking to!) among Fender fans.  Hence the smiley...   wink

I'd say Telecasters, period, but that's just me...   big_smile

Congrats, Kevin.  All kidding aside, she looks beautiful, and I'm sure she'll sound great as well...
