My American Standard Tele has single coils and they are every bit as quiet as the humbuckers I have on my Strat. I love them. In fact, I think a quiet set of single coils sounds better than humbuckers, but that's just a personal preference. I wouldn't really buy a Tele with humbuckers, that really kinda defeats the purpose of buying a Tele. If you want the REAL Tele twang you have to have single coils.

But humbuckers do sound smoother with high gain.

I think the Tele makes a better Rock guitar than the Strat, while the Strat is better for Blues. Teles are bad to the bone. You can get real grind and dirty sounds out of a Tele you can never get with a Strat. And Teles are super tight. You get real definition on chords.

I'd recommend NOT using this technique, or if you absolutely have to, be extremely gentle with it. I second that one! I have heard that Edge from U2 uses this technique. However, when asked about it even he admitted that breaking the neck right off is always an issue.]]> Guitar Players Discussion Audioslaveaddict https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/strat-vs-tele-2/#post-91817 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/strat-vs-tele-2/#post-91810 Mon, 28 Feb 2005 21:57:43 +0000

Generally vibrato should be done with your fingers. It's a good technique to learn.

Also, you can play a chord and then brace the body against your chest and use your left hand to wiggle the neck to get the same whammy bar effect.]]> Guitar Players Discussion E.Sherman https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/strat-vs-tele-2/#post-91592 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/strat-vs-tele-2/#post-91582 Sat, 26 Feb 2005 21:53:14 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion Badlands53 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/strat-vs-tele-2/#post-91582 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/strat-vs-tele-2/#post-91577 Sat, 26 Feb 2005 19:43:43 +0000
