Относится к вашим дебатам про Fender Telecaster
I'm interested in buying a telecaster. Which one is best for jazz?
---------------
Some telecaster models that have been recommended in the past include (all are Fender models unless indicated):
1952 Reissue
American FAT
ASAT Deluxe (G&L)
1972 Custom (has a Seth-Lover-designed humbucker in the neck position)
Pro Tone FAT (Squire, no longer manufactured, but are available used)
American Series (NOT the American Standard Series, which is now discontinued)(the American series is supposedly already routed for a humbucker)
Plus (made from 1989-1995).
It should be noted that the FAT telecasters were NOT preferred by some because the alder bodies and pickups that were "overwound" gave them a sound that was "too dark" or too "electronic" sounding.
Now, on to the choice of wood: Basically, there are two choices, alder and ash. The differences between the two was summed up in this way: "Generally speaking, ash gives a tighter, brighter sound; alder gives a softer, warmer sound. But woods vary. And once you throw pickups, strings and amps into the equation, you'll find that you can probably get a fine sound out of either one. You really need to go out and play both -- and play more than one example of each, if possible. Sometimes the difference between two particular guitars can be hard to discern, other times it can be dramatic." However, one person thought that sitcking with a maple neck, an ash body and a neck humbucker gave an extremely versatile instrument.
It is usually recommended that heavier strings be used, either 11's or 12's.
After purchasing a telecaster, the question of replacing the stock pickups is invariably raised. Some recomendations were:
Seymour Duncan Nashville Studio (not a humbucker, a little dark, but very quiet)
Harmonic Design (no models given)
Seymour Duncan '59 SH-1 in the neck position
Seymour Duncan Vintage Stacked
Joe Barden (no model given)
Seymour Duncan Jazz (though its not very warm, it has a clear sound that some like)
Have the stock pickup rewound by Kent Armstrong or Lindy Fralin
Blue Lace Sensor in the neck and Red Dually Lace Sensor in the bridge
