Ibanez crushed this! A beautiful homage to the Telecaster that is uniquely Ibanez. That Prussian blue is gorgeous. This is definitely worth adding to any T-fan's collection.
hmmm Pedals statt Amp Overdrive oder Crunch? Schade...und welches Fuzz war das nun? mir wäre mal wichtig gewesen, beide Pickups zusammen mit Crunch, Fuzz und High Gain zu hören. Brummt es dann in SPielpausen, wg. dem SC am Steg?
Does anyone have experience comparing this to a traditional Tele? What do you think the tonal differences would be vs. a traditional Tele if you were to swap in the same pickups? Or acoustically, how do the two compare? Does one seem to have more snap, bite, attack, fuller bottom end, brighter top end, more mids, or any other noticeable differences compared to each other? I've been wanting traditional Tele tones but with an arm contour, and I have no idea if this guitar could get me there with a pickup swap. So far the only two options on the radar that might be able to accomplish this might be be this and the Kiesel Retro Solo. The stock neck pickup seems to be lacking the traditional Tele mojo, which impacts the in middle position too.
Interesting. The only part that sounded thin to me was the in between pickup sound at 3:09. Otherwise it seemed thicker than the average tele tone-wise. Also the gain at 5:24 sounded thin but I think that was more the amp settings than the guitar.
I bought one (longtime tele player). I’m only very happy with it, and it’s never sounded thin (across multiple amps). Very clear and warm while still twangy. Tele-ish. But not exactly the same.
