Thanks for sending me your settings. I managed to pickup a well loved 83 Tele with a rosewood neck. I have been fooling with settings but everything sounds like my strats. Look forward to getting a more traditional tele tone. Tom Adams also gets a wicked sound out of his tele as well..


Hey Scott...is that a full rosewood neck or just the fingerboard? I have a few Tele's with maple fingerboards, actually two I think. But I much prefer rosewood for bending. I guess I didn't know Fender made a full rosewood neck. Was it standard on that model? Is it an American Tele?

I think most of the tone you get out of a guitar comes from your hands, the way you play. I once read that "any banjo Earl Scruggs plays sounds like a '28 Granada" which is a highly-prized vintage model of the Gibson Mastertone banjo. They are priceless and rare. $25,000+ when you find one. I've had some vintage Tele's but I didn't think they sounded any better than a new American Standard Tele. Sound is SO subjective anyway.
