  1. Depending on volume levels required, the MG range as Si600 says above is very good for that type of sound. I have the 1x8 15watt version and it has more volume than I can use at home (unless being inconsiderate of my neighbours). Coupled with my Les Paul Studio it sounds just like I want, that classic Les Paul/Marshall sound.

    So last week I bought myself a used Gibson Les Paul Studio. Although I find Fender guitars easier to play I just prefer the sound of Gibsons. And am I glad I got it, the sound is great. It ain’t ‘arf heavy though!
  3. I use a Telecaster Custom Deluxe, has 2 Fender Wide Range Humbuckers, each with independent volume & tone, 3-way pickup selection . I play punk and rock on it mind, so not the music stated, but the ‘buckers certainly warm up the Tele, the sound is still in a similar area tho, not as rich as a Gibson. Given that many jazz guitarists use those big hollow bodied guitars with humbuckers I’d reckon my Tele would be fine for jazz - not that I’m likely to do so, far too complicated for me.
  4. I think the Les Paul is a fuller sound, the SG a bit more focused and sharp. Both great sounds.
  5. The Classic 57 is a good pickup and sounds great when played loud. At quieter volumes I thought it was a tad middy and insipid sounding but then I was using it for rock. The Seymour Duncan Jeff Beck sounds nice on clean sounds, much crisper to my ears.
  6. Probably need loosening if anything

    So, just got myself a Fender Mex Tele 72 Deluxe - 2 humbuckers, vol/tone for each, big 70s Strat style headstock. In a very fetching black/black/maple to match with my Precision & Jazz. First impressions are I love it, it’s a bit quirky, a Tele with 2 humbuckers and that big headstock. Also has a Strat style tummy-cut which is very nice in comparison to a regular Tele. Has a 12 inch radius board which is a new one for me, never played one of those before. It badly needs a new set of strings. And a new amp to play it through. Luckily the ‘bay has been there for me, so once all delivered I can be more objective on sounds but I think this is going to be ‘my’ guitar. I’m a Fender man through and through, I just play them better than Gibson’s, but prefer humbuckers to single coils. This Tele therefore is a meeting of both parts of what I prefer.
  8. Which SD pickups did you install, am intrigued as usually in guitars SD are a real improvement on stock.
