Jim Root Tele - I want one! help!

[mick thompson]

im going to buy one of them but i dont know which one i should get.

i dont like the body of the black one because it looks far too much like a standard fender but i love the neck because its brighter and the black dots and tuners look sexy as hell on it.

on that note the body of the white fender looks sleek and sexy and unusual but i dont like the neck of the guitar because it makes the guitar loose its lust and start to blend in to looking like any old guitar.

which one people! maybe i can get both and swap the necks! all donations welcomeuke:

black body

white body

 

[iekobrid]

I would buy both (or wait for someone to part 'em out on ebay), put the black model's neck and pickguard on the white body, then donate the rest to medical science.

 

[HeadCrusher]

I'd get the White one because I think it looks better on stage.

[Loren Littlejohn]

Fuck though $950 is a lot of scratch.

motherfuckin 5 way switch is gay as a motherfuck THE PAAIIIIINNNN

 

[006]

Haha, 5-way is no problem. Of course, on my Strats the switch never leaves the neck position... haha

[HeadCrusher]

These only have a 3-way switch.

 

[Rupturemetal]

And I personally ADORE maple boards, especially with the black inlays/hardware on 'em as you mentioned Mick, so I vote the black one!

 

[AudioPhile777]

black one with maple board if you can only buy one.

 

[J the TyranT]

gay guitars. he seriously plays a tele? could be why slipknot's tone has been so terrible for ages... ugh

 

[colonel kurtz]

c)none of the above

 

[Habsburgs]

Tele's look awesome imo... I would buy the black one and change the volume knob.

 

[mick thompson]

omg i still cant make up my mind. i think i might just go for the black one because i love the maple neck but its such a shame to miss out on the white body! argh!

Oh and "j the tyranT" i seriously fail to see how a guitar can be homosexual like (quote:gay guitars) fender tele's are industry standards all over the world and have been around for many many years featured on countless albums. if they had bad tone well they just wouldn't still be making them. and their running 2 emg pickups - which is practically the same as a jackson etc so the tone is going to be pretty close to any standard metal designed guitar give or take a few sonic differences due to wood type, neck type and hardware etc.

you came off as being pretty illiterate there by saying they are gay guitars. nice job buddy!

they're gay guitars... slipknot's a gay band, and you're a gay poster that nobody likes.

 

[Last_Confession]

you seem to be obsessed with calling things gay would you like me to send you a list of new words to improve your vocabularily?

 

[Loren Littlejohn]

Telecasters are the shit, I have watched them be thrown into the air hit the ground and still be good to go. Stratocasters not so much...

I think I have played a total of 2 strats that I could stand (with the single coil only configuration).
