Tele + ? for gig.

What is your favorite guitar to pair with your tele at a live gig?
You can only take two guitars and the tele MOST go, what's the other one?

A second Tele with a humbucker in the neck position.

classic vibe tele + Agile LP copy this will cover everything...lol:wink:

Ibanez nylon string acoustic/electric. Love the growl of the nylon strings.

Gretsch.

Zee Rickenbacker! 360 in Jetglow. Contrasts nicely with my white, double- bound Tele! Aurally, and visually!

I voted P90s since my #1 is a Les Paul with P90s. Might be the greatest sounding guitar/pickup combo ever.

335. Semi-hollow and humbuckers. Loads of new ground there.

I take one of these. Sometimes I take my tele as a backup, just depends on the gig.

Yep. My #1 also has hummer in the neck.....go figure. :wink:

Now Thats what I call a fine looking Trio!! :cool:

Jazzmaster :wink:

My Parker p6e acoustic. I can get every electric sound I need with my tele and every acoustic sound with that. Those are all I take. Sometimes I'll throw my strat in the truck but that is really only if my tele were to break, which doesn't happen with Teles :)

My Vintage VS6 (SG).

Its been gigged about as much as my tele, and gives me a totally different sound suprisingly enough...

I always have a Tele to gig with but the spare can be anything really.

Last gig I did, I took my little LP Melody Maker with the P90, planned on using it for the rockier numbers in the second set we do in this soul band I am in.

Planned to swap back to the Tele for the others.

In the end I didnt bother changing back, the responsive controls on the MM, covered all bases.

And by the end of the set, it was roaring.

My usual gig rig is now this;-

But sometimes I take other guitars as spares for rehearsals, just for a bit of variety

Statocaster... Love that whammy bar!

Only 2 guitars?

I often take an ES 345 with the 6 position varitone control out alongside my Nocaster or '57. A P90 Les Paul goldtop would be the ultimate choice if I owned one.


Must do something about that...

My rig usually includes my Tele, used for most everything, and a Melody Maker re-issue tuned to Open E for slide tunes.

I either take a strat or Paul Reed Smith cu 24.

Since I put a bigsby on my tele I use a strat less.

If you're playing your Tele... why would you need another guitar?

They even match!

Gotta Have Some Of That 'Great Gretsch Sound'!

Im poor i only own one electric guitar....

108654My Tele has P-90s. And it rocks!

A second tele, the same as the first but in a different tuning. Tele works, why faff around?

I usually gig with these. If so, my Esquire is tuned to Open G for slide.

Sometimes I take two Esquires, then the one pictured goes to standard tuning, and my converted butterscotch CV50 gets the Open G treatment.

Tried to delete one pic to no success

I play keys too, so I try to keep the load at a minimum. Still...I've taken to dragging my Fender Malibu acoustic along. Cheap, small, solid top....kind of like a parlor guitar with a strat neck. Fishman pickup, and onboard tuner. I keep it stung light with acoustic 10's. Its like my emergency kit in case everything else breaks. Looks and Sounds pretty good amped up too.

Something with mini-humbuckers.

Um - Actually when i was gigging, the Tele was no. 2 to my Ric 330 -

Should I just pack up and leave now??

With my tele, I always have this - Samick Artiist Series 335 copy for some humbucker grit

My choice will be Gibson Les Pul '58 Vos for sure!

Why, another Tele with the Gibson mini HB in the neck of course! My Mark Jenny in Fiesta red.

I voted ES335, but in reality its whichever has freshest strings and/or electronics intact from my most recent pickup swapping experimenting.

Tele with P90's!

335, it can do just about everything else.
