Not a clank to be heard:

Lots of people use the middle pickup by itself too. Jimmie Vaughan being one. Jeff Beck being another. I don't but they do.
I've wanted a guitar with a B string bender ever since seeing Clarence White with the Byrds 50 years ago.

Well, in his hands, it certainly is. But I don't think most people buying that guitar have his skill set. I think the Ernie Ball Steve Morse model is a close contender for stock signature models that are versatile. But I suspect very few people can play all styles as well as Steve, either.Administrator of the SDUGF

The Morse guitar doesn't have a B string bender tho.
And it's filled with Dimarzios.
Joking about the Dimarzios. I like the Dimarzios in my Ernie Ball Axis.
But they're the first Dimarzios I've really liked.“Practice cures most tone issues” - John Suhr

I thought Tommy Tedesco's was the most recorded Tele of all time?
Might be versatile, but sure is ugly.
Hard to say it's "most" versatile. There are lots of versatile guitars. Morse, James Burton Tele, Page LP, Townshend LP, Townshend Strat, Clapton Strat, Gilmore Strat, Les Paul Personal / Pro, G&L CLF research models, many super strats, like HSH with all kinds of split wire options, are all quite versatile; some have options that are not always useful, but sure, versatile.

Originally posted by Clint 55 View PostI do think that set up, only with a hum in the bridge, is the most versatile. That can probably play anything. Hum bridge, single middle, mini neck.
A paf style humbucker in the bridge will prevent it from sounding like a Tele though.
At about the 9 minute mark of that interview I posted Brent plays some jazzy stuff and the tone is everything I could ask for. Of course he really knows his way around the fingerboard and has a great touch. That's the ticket to getting a great tone: having a great touch and knowing your way around so you're not fumbling and having to think too much.Last edited by Lewguitar; 10-27-2020, 12:01 PM.“Practice cures most tone issues” - John Suhr
