I'm about to pull the trigger on this Tele:

enjoy ur squire

perty with the p90

Tuekkong · September 22, 2012, 09:11:22 PM

If the build quality is anything like the classic vibe 50 tele I picked up cheap, you can't go wrong. P90 in neck only makes the deal sweeter

Really though, squier is on the come up.
Would probably rather build a guitar out of Squier parts and pickups of my choice than buy a stock Fender.
And actually, fuck that... I'd rather buy a new Squier than a new Fender. Eff paying all that money.
I say go for it!

I just scored the two P90 one locally for cheap. Seems a nice instrument.

Baltar · September 23, 2012, 08:24:29 AM

Yeah I had the Tele Custom with the two p90's a few years back and sold it for my Mem Boy DLX. I just gotta sell my old Civic first. Prolly in the next two days.

Schweet fiddle.

That looks like a Jazzmaster type pup in the neck. Aren't those pretty diff't from a P90?

RacerX · September 23, 2012, 10:18:31 AM

It is, & they are.

Baltar · September 23, 2012, 05:58:32 PM

Just put $100 down, another $238 and it's mine.

Hemisaurus · September 23, 2012, 08:28:32 PM

Seeing that link made me crave butterscotch, gonna buy me some puddin' tomorrow

Instant Dan · September 24, 2012, 03:17:16 PM

Nice one, Baltar. Seeing that guitar started a fire in my loins.

RacerX · September 24, 2012, 04:10:16 PM

I dunno; the Fender Jazzmaster p/u has magnetic pole pieces like a Strat pickup (and very unlike a P-90). I'd venture that the looks of the Jazzmaster pickups are about the only thing they share with P90s.

But if you're looking for the Jazzmaster sound in a Tele, party on, dude!

If not, Lollar makes a P-90 style pickup under a Jazzmaster-size cover, too.

nice bro!! found any mods yet?

Worthless Willie · September 24, 2012, 10:08:05 PM

One my buddy, Tony Nobles, built. I mean from scratch...hunks of wood. Tony builds some of the best guitars in the world. He's built for Joe Walsh, Ray Wylie Hubbard, Alejandro Escavedo, and more. Dude rules. In case anybody is wondering, that's a DeArmond pickup, from the sixties. Great, flat response, and they really sound unlike any other p'up. I love them. And, unbelievably, I don't hate the headstock. Here's his blog for his company, Devil's Backbone Guitars: http://devilsbackboneguitarco.blogspot.com/

This guitar needs no mods. Prolly not even a treble-bleed. Nice and bright. Might change out the tuners and nut eventually. The neck is super-glassy.

skydogdiesel · September 25, 2012, 07:56:28 PM

intonation is good?
