American Special telecaster. I'm kind of disappointed, but also pleased. Why? He's going to regret purchasing this guitar. I either see a hot rails in his future, or that guitar being sold to me. :laughing:. I always said he should have bought a tube amp, since he had an Epiphone Les Paul custom that would be an awesome guitar with a pickup swap. the guitar is a great piece of wood, but the pickups are just bland. I think he bought this guitar just because it has 22 frets. It was like a pet peeve, I'd show him a guitar and he'd go: it has 21 frets. I remember i said, dude, you will hardly ever use that 22nd fret. besides, you can just bend up. He said no, he *NEEDED* THAT 22nd fret. I think it should have been an amp. on the bright side, that axe might be in my future. I mean, the guy was looking at LTD guitars for crying out loud. I think he just went for looks and brand names... his amp is a fender frontman 212.

cool guitar, but crap priorities man. buying a great guitar and putting it through a mediocre amp will still yield mediocre sounds. personally i like having 22 frets, but it's not absolutely necessary. on the other hand, if i bought a fender it would probably be the same model lol

That's what I said man! That's why I put so much pressure on myself to get a decent amp with good pedals. It's why I'm not seeing a guitar in the near future: I want to buy some pedals, stuff like an electric mistress, a big muff, holy grail reverb. I also want to buy the C-Rex speaker for my amp. My guitars are already monstrous: duncan equipped! my tele and jaguar are about as beefy as a Fender can be, and my tom delonge strat will soon be a versatile rock machine.
 
Re: My bro made up his mind and bought a guitar...

those guitars are great...those amps are um...amps.

he'll figure it out some day.
 
Re: My bro made up his mind and bought a guitar...

There's just something so special about a white Fender with a black pickguard and a maple neck.
 
Re: My bro made up his mind and bought a guitar...

I refuse to buy a guitar without 24 frets.
 
Re: My bro made up his mind and bought a guitar...

Solid State Amps are the future. I use a Tech 21 and would never go back to Valve amps. With the energy ratings being tightened up around the world you might find things like valves are to come by soon.

...let's just say the frontman isnt the best solid state amp.
 
Re: My bro made up his mind and bought a guitar...

let's see $800 for an extra fret

or $150 for some duncans and $650 for a Blues Jr. Tube Amp.

The latter seems like the more rational choice in my eyes....
 
Re: My bro made up his mind and bought a guitar...

Obvious, if cruel, suggestion - You and your brother should try a few A/B tests with your respective guitars and amplification. Maybe, this way, he will get the hint?
 
Re: My bro made up his mind and bought a guitar...

Cool guitar...maybe he'll grow into it! LOL

(if not you wind up w/ it:bigthumb:)

Really. I can't see going from an LP to a Tele. He should have put that money into upgrading PU's on the LP.
