Chris Shiflett tele??

Ive been looking for a guitar with humbuckers as of late and the two front runners rn are the tele deluxe and sg specialt but the third im looking at is Chris Shiflett's sig but no shops near me have one

i like rosewood>maple, its pickups are supposed to be similar to gibsons and i like how it has standard size humbicker routes unlike the 72's wide ranges but how does it feel compared to a 72? hopefully ill be able to play one when im in chicago soon but jyst wondering what you gusy think of it

y'know Blake, I recall that I played one when shifflet and fender first made it available to the general public but it was such an unremarkable guitar i can't remember anything about it other than that it had humbuckers and was very midrangey plugged in and that the coil tap didn't sound much like I want a tele to. I formed no impression of it good or bad really, can't even remember the neck. You could probably build one from parts for about the same price and spec every detail to your exact preference.

i have putted the idea of building a warmoth tele deluxe with p90's, i actually saw foo fighters recently and he played a red custom one most the gig instead of his sig model

it's probably your best bet... if you really want a fender logo, go on ebay and buy a fender neck you like from Stratosphere and just get the body from warmoth or USAcustoms or whoever... If you want decorative wood, I know a guy in Ohio who does really beautiful ele and strat bodies out of crazy looking woods. Firstr ate guy.

if i dont cave on a jazzmaster or sg thatll probably be the plan, i got promoted to management this summer and my loans have gone down so im going to chicago music exchange to look at jazzmasters and sg's since they have a good selection and get a drri or super sonic, living at home and making decent money is nice when your 21

SG! tell me about it, I think Iw as 20 or 21 when I got my '62 ac30 and started buying old marshalls… I had moved back with the folks thenand was making solid money for a change... rather then save my beans I invested in gear
