OK man...you FINALLY have your own Well and that's the best title you could come up with? :nana:

I say you edit the title to:

The Well XLVII: Hide your chickens, cause Butch is 'bout to start pickin!

Re: The Well XLVII: Butch Finally Does This...

Ok Butch, where do we start...??? :D

You've had a few problems recently with playing certain guitars and retaining your own identity, so my question is what guitar do you think you sound most like you, and what would a Butch Snyder Sig Model be like???

You're right Greg, I have PM'd Jeremy to change it.

Oh man, I bet I have made more than a few eyes roll when everyone sees my threads like "Which Tele?" or "What should I do to my Tele now?"

Having played my Morse for over a year as well as others, I had an epiphany a couple of weeks ago. I noticed that, while the Morse felt and played fantastically, I always found myself trying to play like Mr. Morse himself, albeit badly.

When I always play my Tele, I sound and play like me; good or bad. It's all mental but at least now I can actually grasp it.

As far as a Butch Snyder sig Tele, it would be an Am Std model with a mini-humbucker in the neck that is loud and fat but can cut and jangle like a single coil when dig into it. The middle pickup would be a higher-output Strat pickup so I could lower it and have it more out of the way. The bridge pickup would be in the the 10k range and have a nice fat twang. It would have a P/G B-bender too. The switching would be a standard 3-way blade that works like a standard Tele would. I would have a mini-toggle in between the vol and tone pots to turn the middle pickup on/off.

That's about it....

Medium-Jumbo, U-shaped like a Nocaster, Quarter-sawn flame maple, 9.5" radius, Brisge type would be American Standard...
 
Re: The Well XLVII: Hide your chickens, cause Butch is 'bout to start pickin!

Also, white top-binding like on the Am Deluxes. All finishes would be pastel, vintage white, daphne blue, sonic blue, surf green, mint green, etc. Pickguards would be white pearl...

Do we get a discount when they go into production Butch??? :D
 
Re: The Well XLVII: Hide your chickens, cause Butch is 'bout to start pickin!

That would be one crazy guitar, but I have ALWAYS loved binding on a tele.
 
Re: The Well XLVII: Hide your chickens, cause Butch is 'bout to start pickin!

Well of course...



Adds the finishing touch. The only time I wouldn't use topbinding is with a white Tele or a blackgaurd Nocaster.

I've got a replacement body being made for my Tele. It was originally going to be 1-piece ash, and I was planning top binding. My friend has gone and put a thick maple top on it!! It looks fab so far, but the top's so thick I think the binding would look daft.

I just think it is cool that you liked my title enough to change your old one!

About Telecasters - I am not an expert on them. They're just my favorite. There are many here on this forum who know a lot more about them and their pickups than I. I just know what I like....Sometimes...

I've found I don't use a whole lot of the accessories in a guitar.

What the heck do you use a B-Bender for anyways?

Very nice axe...

The B-bender is to raise the B-string a whole tone without bending the string with your fingers.

Here's a very simple demo...

BTW, Jimmy Page used one on "All Of My Love"...

You just described yourself in another thread as "reserved and conservative." Why do you describe yourself that way?

I guess because I'm more of an introvert and not very outgoing. I'm a registered Republican but I vote for who I like regardless of the party. I don't drink or do drugs. I don't judge those who do and I'm not self-righteous or holier-than-thou. Lord knows I've made a ton of mistakes and done some really stupid things. I'm not really a partier and when I was playing the clubs, during our breaks, I would just sit at the "band table" and just kind of chill and drink my coffee.

The guys who came to my place last summer for the forum jam can testify....

Should I get a 'rewards' credit card?
