Les Paul sound from a Fender?

Pffft, it's the wussy 24.75 scale neck i don't like, none of this lightness cr@p  

Wussy my arse.

 

Just cos your girly hands love tiny girly necks.

And Feline I'd love to get a custom jobbie. Might consider it, alongside a 72 Thinline. Or just give up completely and live with my poor, manly, rugged hands being cramped when I'm past the 5th fret.

My Gibsons all have big fat manly necks actually, not skinny little toothpicks like Fenders.  Does 3/4" of extra scale make that much difference?  I guess it does if you have sausage fingers.  

Hmmmm.

This seems to be a length vs. girth situation.


(Edit: I do love tiny girly necks.  But not on guitars)

I have both.




on my Fender Esprit - a great compromise - an LP type double cut body and Fender scale length - shame they didn't catch on

As used by the mighty Robben Ford?  I didn't realise you had one of those, Elliot.

Here's a vid of a local blues player from Louisiana. He plays 70ish Thinline humbucker Teles through a twin.

I love his playing. I see him play every chance I get.

Sorry, but i would advice agains a 72 tele thinline, they are really horribly built and after you wake up and open up your ears youll notice it has that horrible $5 toy guitar nasal sound which will start hunting you in your nightmares!

Or well, i just wanted to mention it does sound pretty extremely nasal which isnt the best thing IMO.

Look at Warmoth. I have one Warmoth neck and am getting a second. I think they say you can change a 24 3/4 scale to a 25 1/2 without a change on their Les Pauls, but I could be wrong. Or you could build a mahogany Strat/Tele as well.

+1

Warmoth have endless options and they have some tasty thinlines.

I used to have a Tele with a SD Pearly Gates humbucker in the bridge. It sounded damn close to Angus' SG.
