Mr. Jones Posted May 9, 2005 Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 With The Strokes, The Hives, and Bloc Party I'd say go Telecaster. It has that sharper crisper sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest aBitOverObsessed Posted May 9, 2005 Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 There is so many new british Indie bands recently in the UK, I could rip my hair out because they all sound alike!!! I like Bloc Party, The Strokes and The Hives though.I also recommend the telecaster for Indie, and neither for Blink, unless you are buying a Fat Strat (same as a Standard stratocaster, but with a humbucker - better pickup for that kinda style) in which case, hells yeah buy that.

corey Posted May 10, 2005 Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 go with a tele dude, i heart these instruments, yet i have not a one in my house i just go to the stores and play on them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
royal. Posted May 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 So, if i want to play blink, mainly stuff from like enema to the untitled album, is a telecaster anygood?Do the tele and distortion get along well?I will probably be getting a Squire Tele, cause they are cheaper and im a n00b on guitar, but i can still rip out a good song! lol, such a n00b quote right there, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest iameric Posted May 10, 2005 Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 either one will do the joba fat strat will give you a more blinkish tone, and the tele will suit the sounds of the strokes, hives, bloc party, etc.but i'd say just get whichever you prefer, cause both will still be relatively close. and if you're going squire, i'd swap in some new/better pickups later anyway.

TAYLAW Posted May 10, 2005 Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 500 AUD will only get you a squire unless you wanna look into second hand stuffAnd I wouldnt worry about paint jobs on your first guitar, stick to learning how to use it first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
royal. Posted May 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 No, i mean, ive been playin accoustic for a while, i just wanna play electric, cause accoustic sucks dick for ripping out shit....theres that ripping word again....how much is a custom though....telecasters look shit with paint jobs...

Guest aBitOverObsessed Posted May 10, 2005 Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 "how much is a custom though....telecasters look shit with paint jobs..."That really made no sense at all. Who cares about paint jobs on your first electric guitar? I'd recommend Epiphone rather than Squier, but you seem pretty set on a Squier Tele, so go for it! They sound pretty good for their price i guess and so is the playability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
royal. Posted May 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 but i mean, i wont get an epiphone for under 400-500 will i?I mean, i aint that set on the tele, im open to anything but ibanez, but i like fender, squire, epiphone, a gibson would be nice....but tooo gooddd and expensive for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justin time Posted May 10, 2005 Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 Well, I would recommend to play them all first to see what you like best, like whatever suits your style... but if it was up to me.. I would get a Squier Tele or Epiphone SG... but I don't know how many 500 australian dollars is in american dollars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david to the fifth power Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 i say get a fender. cause i mean you already know how to play, its just a matter of what kind of guitar to get. squiers just plain suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
royal. Posted May 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 I can play, but im not great.I mean, I taught my self bass...And I watched my friend play guitar, one day i just picked it up and started playin stuff, he let me borrow his accoustic, and I got well.So im self taught, so perhaps something along the lines of a Fender isnt worth it yet?Whats dif between Fender and Squire in terms of playing and sound?
