I did put tens strings on it because nines were too 'soft'. Still has original pickups and it sounds like a Tele. I refinished it in natural and recut the headstock as a diminutive travel guitar. Topped by a 9.5'-radius maple fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo. Very good condition featuring double cutaway offset alder body with Capri Orange finish, multi-ply mint green and black plastic pickguard, two Duo-Sonic.

The 24' scale adds a bit of warmth and thickness to the guitar's inherent tone, while granting a slinkier playing feel, making it easier to perform multi-step bends.

any tone with stunning authenticity or forge your own unique sonic combinations. Master volume and tone controls, along with a three-way pickup switch, shape the pickups' voice to match the music. I have one of these I got for $10 at a garage sale that was all beat up. Official gear from icons like Fender, Mesa/Boogie, Orange, Slash. The scale length is not changing the tones you can get, at least not enough that shows up on a phone recording put on youtube. Since you are used to a Tele, here is an ultra short Tele model made by Samick/Washburn for Disney/Hannah Montana. You can change technique or upsize strings from say nines to tens (if you go up too much you may find you've lost intonation adjustment runway).īBKing used 8s on his Gibson and BGibbons uses 7s on Fender/8s on Gibson style guitars (due to scale length) because BBKing asked BGibbons "why are you working so hard?" with the 12/13s he had on his Fender guitars so BG switched to lighter strings. When it came time to tour for 1993’s In Utero, Kurt leant heavily on his favourite guitars, giving birth to iconic imagery with either a Fiesta Red or Sonic Blue Mustang, and as we’ll discover, creating yet more extension to the gear myth that surrounded a contrary guitar anti-hero who shunned technique and tone in favour of attitude and songwriting, and won. What kind of grip do you play on your Tele/Strat? As the scale gets shorter, using the same strings, you can go out of tune by gripping too hard.

but a Tele with a 4-way or an Armstrong Blender on a Strat add other options too. The Fender Duo-Sonic HS from the companys Offset Series takes a classic 'student model' platform from the mid-1950s and puts it into the hands of todays players, both beginners and seasoned vets.
