Riley dude, that is a really cool guitar!! I have been considering a Squier John5 model for a while now, only because they are cheap on the pocket & it's a tele H/H which there arent too many of.

But when you think about it, the Blacktop Tele has it all right there. For a few hundred bucks more you cant go wrong with having 'Fender' on the headstock. Compared to the rest of the MIM line, they are excellent value for money! :)

I say no to the haircut! When I was your age, my hair was just as long. A man should grow his hair long at least once in his life you reckon? :D

I didn't say he should get a haircut--my teen son's hair gets longer than that.

Leaving his hair long? Who cares?

Putting a label on his brand-new telecaster? Sacrilege!

Nice axe Riley. Enjoy it. I played one at the local shop and was quite impressed with it. The pups sounded much better than I thought they would.

Riley,

About the hair issue, grow it longer. When I was your age I had mine to the middle of my back. Had it that way for a total of 5 years before I cut all off.

Again, nice guitar. Sound clip please. I will also post a clip from my Blacktop Strat as well and we can compare tone.

I don't recommend the sticker, the guitar is awesome enough without it. Still, it is your decision to put it on or not.

i'd love to put up a sound demo, but the 2 recording things i have do not capture its true tone, sucks big time :?

Riley,
Sorry about the hair and that it became an issue. I never meant that you should cut it, but I couldn't resist a joke about how people were so presumptuous to tell young men to get a haircut back in the 60's and early 70's--I remember it, having entered HS in the fall of 1969, less than a month after Woodstock. I had long hair, too, back then, down my back when I was in college. It was tied back for my graduation. My son looks great with long hair, but as a middle-aged man now I just look dopey when it's long :oops:

I know the feeling. I have one recording device that does not capture the tone I get from my Gdec. I cannot get a recording from my gdec despite the MIDI/USB cable I just bought. Back to tweeking the Boss ME 25 for better tone.
