Need a guitar
 

Hello i am looking for a Fender telecaster with double coil humbucker pick ups and possible whammy bar or hammer does nayone know of any models like this other than the 72' deluxe?

Buy an Ibanez.

Whats your price range?

1000-1200

i've never heard of a tele having a tremolo bridge but it shouldn't be that hard to have humbuckers installed in any tele. it'll likely cost a bit more though since whoever does it will need to rout the body a bit in order to make them fit but there's no reason it can't be done.

Theres actualy alot of telecaster with tremelo


edit: Double coil humbuckers

What is it with everyone and the '72 deluxe? They don't even use the same pickups as the original telecaster deluxe. Why not just get an epiphone sg or les paul?

^^some people hate the gibson scale length, myself included.
God I hate gibsons

^ Can I ask why? I like Gibsons myself.

The short scale length results in a guitar with a very dark tone because the strings are under less tension to achieve the same pitch.

They don't handle downtuning well and even in standard they can feel 'flappy' to some people who prefer a guitar that has more tension and thus note definition.

they sell larger gauge strings for a reason though. people who complain about it being 'flappy' are probably still using .9s and expecting it to feel like a 25.5" scale instead of using .10s and getting a similar feel.

Oh, alright.

I actually own both and have had guages ranging from .09 to .11 on my short scale viper.

The viper has always felt floppy to me regardless of string guage. Also, the heavier the string guage, the more mud in the tone. short scale + thick strings = mud city. Great for TEH BROOTALZ but horribly awful for anything where you really want single note definition in a fast riff or chord.

In comparison, my 25.5 scale guitars feel perfect with either guage string on them. The 10's feel chunky enough to give good tone, but the higher tension keeps them from mudding up too much. The 9's have a slightly thinner tone with excellent playability and the but through quite nicely, whereas on a short scale they just felt like elastic bands.

i still think it's a matter of preference and probably a matter of which one you started with (for the average guitarist)

i'll admit that the strings on my shorter scale guitar feel looser but it becomes a matter of preference. then again they're also .13s dropped to C... yet i don't play TEH MET-UHL!!! even back in the day when i used .10s tuned to standard the difference between those and the .09s on my strat wasn't really that noticeable to me. i can certainly see why people could have a preference though.

i also think it's pretty cool that we seem to have polar opposite approaches to style and technique yet never bump heads in the bad way :thumb:

Yeah man, its ****in' surreal that we are so incredibly opposite.

what

The model he is talking about already has the humbuckers, I assume this is the one you are talking about?

You can add a Bigsby tremolo to it, but to add a tremolo that is similar to say a Strat or something you would have to swap out pretty much all its insides - which is not very worth it from what I hear.

might want to note the original post looking for something OTHER than a '72 deluxe. ;)

haha yeh and i kinda changing the specs i want just a normal tele pickup at the bottom and humbucker at the neck

That sir, is a Telecaster Custom.

Personally, i hate fenders, why bother getting one, just get an Ibanez, there nice. Or get an Epiphone or something. I have an Epiphone Les Paul, perfect weight, size, and it sounds phenomenal. And it was pretty cheap. And if you really want this, if your Canadian, try Kijiji its a website for buying stuff off of people. If your in America or England, iuno what then

All of the Telecaster customs have a single coil at the bridge and a humbucker at the neck. I really don't like the strat neck on the Tele deluxe, ya know? It just looks and feels out of place.
