Teles bridge pickups are mounted on a peice of metal, which emulates the steel guitar sound, which indeed does make it more twangy. And strats in general have a rounder tone. And plus you gotta have respect for fender strats man, theyre the O.G.s of blues! And from what Ive heard, people who play strats almost never use the bridge pickup [unless ][/unless] and people who play teles almost never use the neck pickup.

Teles: Country music
Strats: Blues

Hmm ok I don't think I can notice such subtle differences in timbre but you guys need to admit that there are better things out there, Leo Fender himself invented some better strats which are now sold under the G&L brand

Even you could make a better strat if you tried to!

IF you have the money buy the Ibanez s470 (second hand on ebay you can them for a good price but make sure the condition is good and make sure the model uses a zr tremolo). I've owned guitars that were worth 3-4 times it's price and nowhere near the worth of s470. It's just the best guitar i've owned. I hate Herman Li (it's the model he uses and i think dragonforce are just pure hype) but i must say he was being truthful about this guitar.

But tell me what is so good about that ZR bridge?

Hmm OK maybe later but all I know how to do is playing scales up and down so I'm kind of shy about recording certain things

are you kidding? it looks like a standard ibanezy metal guitar

I agree, if it had a maple fretboard it would be 1000% better

I love how the yellow/red paint + black pickguard makes them look like a poisonous animal of some kind and the maple fretboard sets them apart from other generic rosewood fretboarded guitars

Maple is the best wood that exists for electric guitar fingerboards
Or any other wood that is pretty like maple

Why do people dislike floyd roses. They're easy to set up and stay in tune forever (at least the good ones)

Well most importantly

1. If you break a string when you're gigging, you're doomed.
2. You can't change tuning very easily!
