Originally posted by elelpe View PostVery nice indeed. You know how to handle the brute. The neck pickup's sound surprises me.
It is a really BIG sounding bridge pickup as well, alot of girth and low end energy that overdrives the amp. It was overdriving the input stage a bit unless rolling off the volume. It handles a volume control gracefully and really cleaned up very musically. I have a follow up vid showing how I got the tones in real time and you can hear what I mean. Ill post it soon.
Mostly I wanted to show the pickup in a new way. It so often is recommended for 'Rock', but this QP could be a bonafide SD country and blues ambassador, no doubt.

BTW, we have some super cool tones in the que.
Happy New year!~

Re: Video Demo - Tele with STL-3 / STR-3 Quarter-Pound
You sold me at the behind the nut bend near the start.
Great tones and playing, and yet again proof that a guitar/pup is only as versatile as the player. I've never owned or played a Tele but have always been impressed with their versatility - set the rig up right and they can sound like a buckered guitar.Originally posted by dominusYour rant would sound better with an A8 magnet, it'll beef it up some without sacrificing some of the whine.

My '74 Telecaster had those pickups in it when I got it. They did sound good! Since the guitar is now 40 years old, I have reinstalled the original pickups.Collings: '08 001-mhsb

Great tones. My Tele has a quarter pound bridge, but a traditional covered neck pup. Never thought about the 1/4 in the neck as well. Sounds amazing.
The only thing more amazing than the tone of your Tele is your playing. I always appreciate your vids. Great job.Originally Posted by IanBallard
Rule of thumb... the more pot you have, the better your tone.

Sweet! I've never heard any of Rodney's clips before. If anyone has more links, I'm "all ears", so to speak.
Great licks Rodney. I can't help but wonder . . . I bet an "off-the-shelf" Affinity Squier, would sound similar in your hands. Maybe.

As for the Affinity, well..lets just say I need more support than that LOL. But I appreciate the sentiment. I 'modded' guitars for 20+ years. I am now in a 'excellent build quality as possible' kind of stage. I just want the bulk of excellence and work done for me right from the start including the wood and finish. Pickup changes are always an easy sonic support. I am starting to find my primary enjoyment in the getting better as a player, mods not so much anymore. I hope to see some real progress this year.
Thanks for the listen! Appreciated!
Cheers and respect,
RG

Originally posted by Rodney Gene View PostThank you! Hope the teaching is going well for you! Never owned a Tele? Worth looking into. Honestly, just a fun guitar that takes a bit of time to learn how to wrangle..LOL! Sometimes I think it is the best guitar ever made. But then sometimes I want to burn it. Thanks for the listen! Cheers!!
I should give one a go one of these days - hard to know where to start, there's so many micro variations out there.
I suppose the only thing I'd change if I were to own one is the bridge - six saddles or three compensated, and shaved off side walls from the bridge plate. Maybe a ballsier neck pup too - I'm used to A5 Strat neck pups. However, I'm intrigued by the old, pre-Broadcaster double Esquires, which had pine bodies and fat necks without a truss rod.Originally posted by dominusYour rant would sound better with an A8 magnet, it'll beef it up some without sacrificing some of the whine.
