Twang us a sound quality, not a musical style.

Who said twang was a style of music?

Somebody earlier noted that it won't twang if you don't play country on it... they must have edited their post.

The tele bridge always twangs.

Basically, why I love the JB. The JB gives me some tele type twang and cut in a humbucking design. The JB is the only humbucker out there that can give the tele bridge pickup type flavor in a full bodied high output design. One of the JB's tonal secrets IMHO.

I've always been a tele player at heart even though I only got my first tele a few years back.

People that hate tele bridge pups also usually hate the JB too... the "cut" can be unsettling and hard to manage.

that's an interesting point of view, I agree indeed.

Tele wiring:a capacitor is fitted between the slider of the volume control and the output, allowing treble sounds to bleed through while the mid and lower ranges are damped.This is why I didn't like the bridge pickup or the $10 worth of wiring.

This whole notion of a tone control being bad is laughable. Do you operate your car with the throttle to the floor all the time? Same with a tele. Mine has a broadcaster pickup, and I bring it close enough to the strings that there is string wear on the bobbin. I love how it sounds there. Then I roll the tone back to 8, volume to 9, and I can cut through if I want with a flick of the tone knob, or boost a bit with the volume. Those controls are there for a reason.

I've found that LP's with low output PAF style pickups in the bridge can sound extremely twangy. .....

To the point that it can be hard to tell whether it's a tele or lp....... =0 ........not this again!

A treble based guitar with even more treble because of it's design,doesn't work for me.

People need boxes to put stuff in...
Easier that way.....as all Teles are "twangy" and all LP's are fat, and all strats are out of tune, and thin

I hate the MODERN tele bridge, Live the classic one, and I DO like the pickup, but for what I play, I can't use it. I'll put a lil '59 there but I know it wont sound like a tele should

If I use the stacks will they be hum canceling with high gain and have that tele twang??
