Re: Alright this is it: my buddy's choices.
Get your mate to buy the P 90 tele, and after a few weeks he'll realise
he actually wanted the Deluxe and sell it to you at a discount:friday:
It's a bit like being at the bar and trying to decide which of the two
cute babes that are smiling at you, are coming home tonight:cool2:
Share my friend!!

Re: Alright this is it: my buddy's choices.
I don't even remember the lame ass argument he gave me about not wanting a Gibson. If I remember correctly, in it, he says he's tired of playing Gibson style guitars and wants something different. I don't want to break his heart, but I really don't think it's a Fender. Though, the tele deluxe is a different kind of fender. something more similar to my Jaguar, which doesn't put out traditional fender tones. What can I say? I tried. When he plays a Studio or a Standard, and loves what he hears, I just hope he won't turn to me and say he made a mistake. Or maybe, I'm wrong, and He's been wrong, and he will like Fender.

I don't really care whose name is on it. I considered the Avril Lavigne Tele for a while simply because it was a telecaster routed for a humbucker.

Leftfield suggestion.
1) Your friend has some idea of what he wants but this is not exactly as per the spec of any commercially available instrument.
2) Between the two of you, you know how to screw together and wire up a Fender-style electric guitar.
3) Mail order.

Would you have kept the checkerboard guard and pink strap locks though? If you strip those off is it still recognisable as Avrils guitar.

Re: Alright this is it: my buddy's choices.
The three I saw in the shop had pink strap locks, not a hard thing to change. Schaller make them in lots of colours so people can colour code their straps so you always get the right strap with the right guitar. (or you use masking tape on the strap and a sharpie)
I'd guess black Tusq as on a Framus or Ibanez they do look like plastic in photos but are not.

since you intend to get the other one anyway, y'all should just buy 'em both and call 'em 'band guitars'.

Re: Alright this is it: my buddy's choices.
that's probably why it's a set neck
i would vote for the deluxe simply because of the options for changing out the pickups, even if i were to swap in phat cats. then again, i'm not so keen on the deluxe's widerange pickups, and i don't know how likely your buddy is to do that kinda tech work or have it done.

I looked at that. im just worried about quality.
Since I got my tubes, and my effects for now, im looking at a new guitar. I already have everything I need, I'm just messing around. The Jaguar and Tele are me, they are my sound. I just want to keep adding axes to the bunch!
