Hard to talk someone out of an ASAT. They are great.
But my argument against the tele format is with standard pups its kind of a one trick pony. But there are so many pup options now that you can always change it. They even have mini bucker that fits now. My first guitar was a tele standard but second was a tele plus with the lace sensors. Much more flexible, but that was sort of a high gain one trick pony. I guess there really is no argument against it.... Ha |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Longer scale lengths help with tuning stability and articulation between the notes. Especially if you want to tune down, there is a limit with just using bigger strings. But again, the Fender scale length is already the longest common scale length until you get into baritones. Heck, there are even seven-strings that just use the Fender scale length, so even going extended-range isn't a guarantee of a longer scale. What guitars do you have in mind, exactly? |

I know there are models out there with some of those features, but generally still dont have a full 24 fret fretboard and poor high fret access. They also dont sound much like a tele at that point. My point is telecasters are awesome guitars. But if someone wants to buy a metal guitar, they would be far from my first choice. Yea you can distort them but I dont think they lend themselves to most modern metal. |

Again with the scale length. The Fender scale length - 25.5", used on both the Tele and the Strat - is the longest commonly-available scale length for regular electric guitars. The Gibson scale length - 24.75" - is shorter. Now, there exist baritone guitars, which typically have scale lengths from 27" to 30". And there exist extended-range - 7+ string - guitars with longer scale lengths, most commonly 26.5"-27" for sevens. (Though not all do; I previously owned a 7-string with a 25.5" scale.) So what guitars are you thinking of when you ridicule the "short scale length" of a Tele - which is the same as Ibanez, Schecter, Jackson, etc. - as being unsuitable for metal? ETA - I listen to a lot of metal. Of the many bands I listen to, only two have done more than just the occasional song on either a 7-string or a baritone. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Nobody needs a 7 string. But they are pretty common in most types of metal after 2010. When you say you want to play metal, I'm assuming you are talking about all metal including newer stuff. Though they are growing in popularity, I still wouldn't call them common. Throughout the many metal bands I listen to, UTA is the only artist I regularly listen to that has done an entire album with seven-strings, and that only happened last year, all of their previous stuff being on six-strings. Extended-range basses, on the other hand, are to the point that I would call them common. I know of numerous bands that play six-string guitars with five-string basses. |

Buy the Tele you like and change the pickups. If you are into Metal and want great pickups that will fit your Tele than Bare Knuckle Pickups is what you want. They will be (very) articulate with great cleans and can do the Brootal... They are not cheap but they will do exactly what you want.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Sweep picking becomes harder with narrow fret boards. There's a reason Ibanez, Schecter, etc... started using more flat fretboards. Narrow... versus flat. Those aren't even describing the same thing. Neck width and fretboard radius are two independent factors. (And neck profile/thickness is a third independent factor.) Fender does typically have more rounded boards (smaller radius), but they do have flatter options available. As far as width and profile, however, their common 'modern C' necks are quite close to Schecter's common 'thin C' necks. Fender Player Tele: 24mm nut, 0.820" to 0.870" profile, 9.5" radius Schecter Omen: 24mm nut, 0.787" to 0.866" profile, 14" radius Yes, the Schecter sports a flatter radius, but they are the same width, and the profiles are very similar feeling. And of course, Fender does offer flatter boards - the Boxer Tele is a straight 12", while the Ultra Tele is a compound 10"-14". All of these are entirely down to personal preference, too, and will have zero impact on the guitars suitability for one genre or another. |

I feel like I am arguing with people who listen to a different kind of metal than I do. OP Tele's are great guitars. If you want something with more versatility, get one with humbuckers and coil taps. My only point is don't expect the classical telecasters to have the best comfort or tone for metal compared with other instruments. There is a reason bands like the following typically don't use strat's, tele's, or LP's for their playstyle:
Necrophagist, Morbid Angel, Megadeth, Deicide, Death, Cannibal Corpse, Vader, Pantera, etc... |

Well, Strats haven't had to be modded in a long time, but their overall shape still seems pretty dominant (Ibanez RG, Jackson Dinky, etc.). Most of the bands I listen to either play something vaguely strat-shaped or Vs, though there are one or two LP-style players in there, too. In terms of the latest craze/fad, it seems that headless guitars are the new hotness. |

While there is functionality in the body shape, a given body shape alone does not inherently make a guitar more or less suitable for a given genre. More or less suitable for a particular player, sure - but that's preference. In your original comment, if you had merely mentioned that traditional Tele pickups are not really the best choice for metal, I would agree with you. But not on all of this other stuff - neck profiles, body shapes, etc. are not something that makes an instrument suitable or not for a genre - it's all in what the player prefers. ETA: Quoted: I play plenty. Aside from humbuckers (even that's debatable) absolutely none of that is necessary to play metal. And if he didn't want to have a guitar that looked more xxx-treme, he'd be playing a Soloist or a Dinky instead of a Warrior. Exactly - though I won't blame it entirely on aesthetics without knowing more, as he may find aspects of the shape more comfortable. Some people find some of the more unconventional shapes to be more comfortable for them personally, so they may choose them for that reason. But of course others will absolutely go with this or that simply because of the look. And there's nothing wrong with that - I'm sure plenty of us have bought certain guitars over others because of some aesthetic reason. But it doesn't make them somehow better for actually playing one genre or another. |
