Squier Telecaster Custom - Mod Project

[Leonidas]

HAHA yeah, the similiarities are inceasing. Looks like you had a nice project with your Dot. Man now thats a guitar I've been eyeing up for a while. How do you like it? I like how you rigged the 3-way switch on the pickguard. I orginally wanted to do this project with my Agile LP copy, but I just love the finish and sound way too much to drill holes.

Ok, I recorded some samples... This is my very first attempt at recording myself, so sorry in advance for anything that sounds like junk!

This is recorded with the Line Out on my Vox into my computer. I don't think the Line Out sounds near as good as the amp speaker, but thats the only way I was able to record. All of them are done using the bassman tweed model.

The first set are a clean tone and they each are some open chords, then some noodlin around with each of the settings in the order Split, Parallel, and then Series.

The second set is with the gain cranked and they are Split, then Series.

Really good job you've done there!

I liked the sound of the clips, keeping in mind the "Line Out" issue (I had a AD30VT and I know).

I think this Squier sounds very much like a SG, which is logical, since the woods/body size and the electronics are somewhat similar. (Agathis is similar to Mahogany sonically).

All in all you have a guitar with very interesting sound for pocket money!

Congrats!
