Anybody have any opinions on the Tele Plus with 3 Lace Sensor Golds? A friend has one he’s looking to move, I need a Tele, the Strat setup and tummy cut are appealing...

They were premium Telecasters of the era, can you play it first?
I'm not a fan of Gold Lace Sensors, but the guitars are generally pretty solid otherwise. The neck profile and hardware should be essentially identical to an American Standard of the same era.Originally posted by crusty philtrumAnd that's probably because most people with electric guitars seem more interested in their own performance rather than the effect on the listener ... in fact i don't think many people who own electric guitars even give a poop about the effect on a listener. Which is why many people play electric guitars but very very few of them are actually musicians.

Johnny Greenwood's Tele Plus is a H/S v1, while the v2 is S/S/S like a Nashville Tele.

I hated the Lace Sensors in my Deluxe Strat Plus, as soon as Duncan’s went in I thought it was miles better. However, a lot of people like them.

I generally don't care for Lace Sensors (especially the Golds), but longcat has a partscaster based on Billy Corgan's Bat Strat, with a Red / Silver / Blue set that sounds great. I have the same set in my Yamaha Pacifica 12-string.Originally posted by crusty philtrumAnd that's probably because most people with electric guitars seem more interested in their own performance rather than the effect on the listener ... in fact i don't think many people who own electric guitars even give a poop about the effect on a listener.

Yeah, I’ll get to play it first. My first actual Fender Strat was a MIM with the Red/Silver/Blue set, and I liked those a lot, but that was like 15 years ago, and my tastes have changed a lot.
And yeah, the Johnny Greenwood version is the more popular one, but I’m looking forward to trying this one out.

Delta Blues...probably the only Peavey that I like.
Any reason you want a Tele but with a Strat setup? I would just rather go for a true Tele if that's where your heart is, or a Strat...unless you're specifically looking for a compromise between the two.Originally Posted by IanBallard
