New Tele - Pickups?
« on: August 21, 2015, 06:27:26 PM »
Sorry for the spam (I just made a different topic), but for my other new guitar, I am getting a Tele with a maple neck. I really want to sound like The Story So Far (specifically the song Solo, which I'll link). Any Suggestions?

They lead guitarist, Kevin Geyer DEFINITELY uses a Tele, here is him from their spring tour.

I think you could shop best in the vintagerange. Listen to the Blackguard 50. It has the early fifties tele-vibe, yet can handle a lot of gain. It's meaty with still classic tele-chime and cleans up nice too.
Mules, VHII, Crawler, MM's, IT's, BG50's.

Def. The flat 50. It's still got the Tele vibe but with a punch. I played pop punk&post hardcore with it perfectly.
Where are you located? I just sold my last Tele and took my flat 50 out of it so I have one for sale!

Did you go with the Flat 50? How'd it work out? Looking for a similar tone with a similar guitar!
