Tell me about Teles with two humbuckers

Re: Tell me about Teles with two humbuckers

Meh. Maybe if you got rid of the 'tron ring and made the P-90 black.

The Tron pic in that app has a ring attached, so my hand was forced there. On a Gretsch the ring is strictly cosmetic - the pickup is screwed directly into the wood.

I'm not giving up ground on the cream P90. Besides, weren't you the guy who liked that hideous pot leaf Douglas? Why should I listen to you?

Get your Gretsch fix by doing what Curly did! Curly's USACG builds play as good as they look.

See, I would rather just get a Gretsch than do something like this.

The thing is, my needs right now are for a humbucker-equipped solid body guitar, and as much as I would love a Gretsch hollow, I just don't think it would be a good fit with my current band situation.

I think the FilterTron is an excellent match with a nice snappy Tele. It's one of those oddball combinations that magically works.

I could just say "screw it" to this whole thing and get a Duo Jet. Maybe that's what I really want ... ???

Honestly, Matt. What the hell is this thread about?

You know you just want the Gretsch. Stop thinking it's so unattainable and getting distracted by all these desires for a short-term GAS fix.

You sold out your last run of Raptors in a single day. If I were you, I'd be throwing out a run per week until I made the cash for my Gretsch.

Actually, if I understood electronics better and was more of a pedal guy, that's EXACTLY what I'd be doing.

It was about me thinking I wanted one thing, and then realizing I actually really want something else. If you hadn't posted that King Bee, I might have been making a purchase on Warmoth right now.

Wait ... was that your plan all along? There's no way you're that cunning ... is there?

I still would like a Tele with two humbuckers someday, because they're really cool, but not right now.

I have a plan. I will make it happen. Not in the way you suggested, but something like that plus other things. And I will be vague about it because that's my style.

I like this plan. Count me in.

Not in a "I'm actually going to do anything" way, but because I like to be counted into things.

Consider yourself counted!
