Axe! Your the first person I've every heard say they don't like Taylors. Those guitars play so beautifully. I have an early 70's aluminum neck Ovation for an acoustic. Easiest playing guitar I've every owned...plays almost as good as a Taylor, just doesn't have the sound. I'm thinking more and more of moving back towards Schecter, a Blackjack or maybe a C-1 Hellraiser, perhaps.

I’m a Gibson/Epiphone player by choice. However, I’m starting to think of some other things. For acoustic work, I don’t think anything compares to the Gibsons and Epiphone Masterbuilts, but the prices are dumbfounding. I have a Yamaha 12 that is absolutely amazing — and the neck is the same size as my Epi Les Paul Ultra. Riddle me that, batman.

I’ve been looking at some PRS axes and may go that way. However, I also was looking at the Breedlove electrics which are new and verrrryyyy pricey. I also was looking seriously at the Taylors. I don’t like Taylor acoustics, but sheesh, these play nicely and the price is a lot better than a Gibson or an equivalent PRS.

Did just pick up a nice Ovation Celebrity for an office guitar. I had an early 90s model that I really disliked. That one was American made. This one is super and, oh yeah, it’s from China. Go figure…

[...] on a comment from the thread in the last post I looked up a series of youtube videos I’d seen a while back, put together by Guitar World [...]

I'm with the Commandante. I've always preferred Fender guitars over anything else, and learned to play on my brother's '57 Telecaster that he gave me as a collateral for a loan. Fender necks play so smooth, especially on my current model, a Fender Lead II. I had a Telecaster back in the nineties with a double coil in the bridge. If only I still had it.........

why dont you just set it up so that the original switch is a kill switch that turns off all the electronics to the guitar? That would make it so you could add some Tom Morello sounds to your bag of tricks.

No, didn’t change my mind, it just started getting late and…

Jeebus Dave, your going to make me meta comment all over myself. Short story is I started to get a nagging in the back of my head; do I have an audience for this topic?

Yes, I want to switch the electronics over and ad a lace sensor humbucker to the middle position to fully utilize the 5 position strat pickup selector switch. But then what do I do with the original kill switch? And is switching the potentiometers on the tone dials still as necessary? Questions only seem to lead to more questions these days.

BOO HOO i keep turning down the volume on every strat i play
Just kidding Fred, the tele does look pretty nice with the black and chrome neck on it. I thought you were talking about doing some electronics swaps in the tele as well? i did not see anything about that in your post .Did ya change your mind?

I'm a Fender guy through and through. I have a Fender Telecaster (Mexican made). I swapped the pickups for something a bit meatier - Seymour Duncan double coil in the bridge (great for chunky overdrive) and a double coil in the bridge (great for jazz riffing). A Tele with a Strat neck would be pretty nice. I hear ya on that volume knob though. Agis last blog post..Automator, the producer of Deltron 3030, whips up something...
