OK, this one may be obscure. This is a question for the Telecaster owners and players.

Fender Vintage Hot Rod 52 Telecaster with Vintage Tweed Case
http://www.americanmusical.com/item-...00232-850.html

or

Fender James Burton Telecaster - Red Paisley Flame
http://www.americanmusical.com/item-...08602-887.html

Which is the one I damn sure need to buy, and please give the reasons.

tony286 · 02-09-2007, 09:54 PM

the James Burton is the one I would go with but in reality unless you play for a living one guitar is enough.

I work for a living to buy toys to play with. I've also had people tell me one woman "is enough", I ain't ever found just that one woman either.

that is truly a work of art. Today I was at sam ash and they had a reissue of eddie van halens kramer, 1800 bucks and its a copy of eddies beat to shit guitar and I mean beat to shit. I dont get it would rather have the james burton or a nice paul for that type of money.

jonesy · 02-09-2007, 10:21 PM

the burton is cool but it aint a tele - its a modded telly and will not sound the same.

if your going for looks and not a true tele sound go for the burton.

if you want a telly and the tele sound get the 52.

i have an old tele and its the shit.

Uhhh, I guess we live in different realities then. One guitar is fine if you play in the same tuning all the time but for those of us who like to go down to D (All hail Tony Iommi) or other weird tunings multiple guitars are a must unless you want to be fucking around with your intonation and neck tension all the time. Fuck that. One guitar per tuning/string guage is where it's at.

OsirisID · 02-09-2007, 10:23 PM

What kind of sound are you going for? I would personally get the Vintage Hot Rod. Looks like shit, but it more than likely has a better sound.

I never played with open tuning but I understand your point. I was a 1-4-5 guy lol

Yep, they do the reissues like that, all beat to crap and worn to hell. Fender Custom Shop did that with a reissue of "blackie", Eric Clapton's prime stratocaster that he played in the studio and stage for over 15-years.

In the reproduction of when the guitar was retired, they reproduced it with cigarette burns on the head by the tuners.

The history of "blackie" a shit guitar bought for $100 and sold for almost $1-MILLION!!!

?Blackie? is probably the most famous guitar in the world. She was put together by Eric Clapton from three different Stratocasters.

In 1970, Eric bought six Strats for $100 each at the Sho-Bud guitar shop in Nashville, Tennessee. He took them back to England and gave one to George Harrison, one to Steve Winwood and one to Pete Townshend. From the remaining three, Eric took the best components and assembled Blackie. Over the years, Eric has called Blackie a ?remarkable guitar? and ?a part of me.?

Blackie was Eric?s primary stage and studio guitar between 1970 and 1985. She made her first public appearance at the Rainbow Concert on 13 January 1973 (the early show - Eric played a Les Paul he borrowed from George Harrison at the second late show). Blackie was retired in 1985 after years of service. Not only had she been in the studio for every album recorded during that time, she was used at such famous events as the ARMS benefit tour in 1983 and Live Aid. She was also used in Eric?s first music video, ?Forever Man? filmed to support his album ?Behind The Sun.?

Blackie ventured out of retirement on two occasions while still in Eric?s ownership. The first was for a television commercial for Honda Cars Japan in 1990 at the company?s request. Eric was filmed over-dubbing some new licks onto his track, ?Bad Love? (from the 1989 album, ?Journeyman?). The second instance was for one number at the Royal Albert Hall in 1991.

In 2001, Lee Dickson, Eric?s guitar technician of more than 25 years said, ?Blackie is still around and 100% playable, contrary to all rumors otherwise. It?s the nature of those old Fenders that the neck can eventually loosen in the neck pocket, even with the bolts tightened. It had been refretted a couple of times and there was a lot of wear on the edge of the neck, which made it difficult to get E string vibrato easily. We tossed around the idea to have a new neck made for it, but eventually the decision was made to just retire Blackie.?

In addition to being heard on numerous recordings, Blackie graced several album covers including ?Slowhand,? ?Just One Night?, and ?The Cream of Eric Clapton?. She was also featured on a t-shirt sold during Eric?s 2004 World Tour.

Eric sold Blackie on 24 June 2004 at Christie?s Auction House, New York to raise funds for Crossroads Centre Antigua (an alcohol and drug treatment centre) he founded. Blackie sold for $959,500 and holds the record for world?s most expensive guitar. Blackie was purchased by the Guitar Center.

I love my tele. But Im a b bender kind of guy, so a tele is a must for me.

Course I love my deep red Takamine the most, but I try to give them all equal attention. One guitar Tony? Pish posh hehe.

AsianDivaGirlsWebDude · 02-09-2007, 10:57 PM

I haven't played either, so I couldn't recommend one over the other...

I'm a Stratocaster man myself - and like you, music and women are my passions...it's fun to mix my passions sometimes (here's Athena with one of my Strats):

Nice guitar collection Sticky F...nice violins too - don't make me break out my ukeleles and mandolins!

I actually enjoy my acoustic guitars most nowadays since I rarely play with bands anymore. My favorites are a Yamaha CG-7 (classical), a very old but still beautiful sounding Yamaki 12-string (Yamaki went out of business a long time ago so they are pretty rare now), and my Martin DCXE Black.

Here is Jenna with a few of my acoustics in the background:

I also like playing Ovation electric acoustics...

I decided that before the Burton, to grab the original to play with the true sound.

Shapely, loud, and blonde..... would it be politically incorrect to name this guitar Loryn???

smack · 02-10-2007, 12:31 AM

td, i would go with the hotrod tele.

i am kind of a tele "purist". i like the pickgaurd, the two pickups, and the vintage look.

here is my tele:

it's just a mexican standard tele in a natural ash finish, but i got a new pickgaurd and put a dimarzio tone zone in the bridge position. i absolutely love it though. tele's are one of my favorite guitars.

after i get a new acoustic in a couple months i would like to pick up a '72 tele thinline re-issue.

either way, i don't think you will be dissapointed, but my personal preference would be for the 52 hotrod.

But I wish you luck in choosing.....
