I legit want a SH telecaster
I recently recorded an album and am preparing to start gigging it. Put some thought into what single guitar could cover the most ground relative to what I have recorded in studio.
Turns out for me a telecaster with a humbucker in the bridge and a single in the neck is perfect. I could pretty much do everything with that setup. Especially if the humbucker has a decent split.
But……there are basically no options on the market. Whenever the question is brought up people can’t help themselves as to explain why the traditional tele single in the bridge is the best and only way it should be done. Yeh I get it. I’ve got one. But for the use case I’ve identified above it’s not what I need.
Bollocks. Horses for courses. There are HH teles around. So obviously some prefer the bucker in the bridge. I just so happen to prefer the single in the neck.
Maybe getting one of those HH Tele deluxes and macguyver a new pickguard for the neck single. There are some John5 teles that are SH, but they’re bound which I’m not a fan of.
Anyway just wanted to have a bit of a rant.
If anyone has any ideas, models or alternatives please let me know. Cheers
