Muppet Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Can the observant ones amongst you name this guitar and it's bass counterpart?

backwater Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Looks like a Chris Shiflett Signature model which is based on a 1970s Telecaster deluxe : [url="http://intl.fender.com/en-GB/guitars/telecaster/chris-shiflett-telecaster-deluxe-rosewood-fingerboard-arctic-white/"]http://intl.fender.com/en-GB/guitars/telecaster/chris-shiflett-telecaster-deluxe-rosewood-fingerboard-arctic-white/[/url] So the bass counterpart would be the Nate Mendel signature?

Muppet Posted March 30, 2016 Author Share Posted March 30, 2016 That's the one! I didn't know anything about it and came across it when looking for a custom. It's quite un-tele like but very well made and sounds lovely. Mexican and comes with vintage style Fender hardcase, all for under £500 which I thought was a bargain. I was expecting the output to be hot but I don't really think it is, especially when I compare it to my other telecasters. Really don't know why Fender insist on sticking 9s on their guitars from new though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Shouldn't Fender humbuckers have split pole-pieces (bottom 3 towards the neck and top 3 towards the bridge) or are these particular after-market models? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muppet Posted March 30, 2016 Author Share Posted March 30, 2016 yup for a regular tele deluxe you're right. These are specific to this guitar. To be honest they don't sound a lot different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
