I love Teles and I just couldn't decide between the two colors, so I bought both. I also used to have a 2nd apartment up until a few months ago, so my plan was to have one of them at either place.
Turns out I never really used the second guitar and now that I gave up that 2nd apartment, it really is surplus to my requirements (even though that's hard to admit ).
do you have any clips with the jim root tele?
i thought these looked rad when they came out, wish they had a 3-way toggle rather than strat/tele style, but that's a small gripe.
Well, I'm about to record a full length Death Metal album shortly with that other Root Tele, but since I haven't started with my parts, clips are sparse on my end right now (only recorded rock stuff recently).
I do - however - have the one and only clip I recorded with the guitar in question, shortly after it arrived. It's just that pre-chorus riff from Fear Factory's "Replica". Set-up and recorded in about 1 minute (shitty EZDrummer backing inclusive ), no editing whatsoever, one take left and right, that's it. So don't expect anything remotely close to what that guitar is capable of.
With these guitars, you basically get the handling and looks of a Tele with a sound that's more in the vein of a LP or SG. Surprisingly usable for rock to blues and clean stuff, too.
Let's put it this way: one has to go, one will stay. I just put this one up for sale as it's basically a new guitar. The black one has seen more use, but as I've taken really good care of it, it's almost in the same condition.
If selling this one falls through, I'm definitely open to selling the black one instead.
havent been able to comment earlier because my gf broke up with me after 3 years and we even lived together so i moved out and all that bullcrap, but nontheless thanks slashvanyoung for the fast shipping and everything. guitar seems very nice so far, only played it a few mins today though..
