'72 Deluxe

SixStringSlinger · January 21st, 2007, 01:27 PM

I've been thinking of getting (sometime in the future) a '72 Deluxe Tele Reissue. I've playe done and it was great. Just wondering what opinions are out there (most everything I hear is good).

The tele deluxe reissue is a nice rock n roll guitar. The 2 humbuckers will give you more of a LesPaul sound than a telecaster. I would suggest you immediately change out the 250K pots for 500Ks. That will open up the pups and you'll get much more clear, clean sounds--more like a tele. But you will still be able to get distortion and sustain for hard rock.

Just my opinion.

...Well yew won't hear all good from me but my opinion iss based on the axe-shoe-al 72 and 73 wons.

...They were purdy but did knott produce that TELECASTER twang that I luv sew much.

...Very good TELECASTERs and very purdy but like the Thinline II had a very specific tone and sound.

...Although there waz nuttin rong with em I dent care fer the "Micro-tilt" (three-bolt) or the bullet head truss rod adjust-mint inna face of the headstock.

If it didn't have that big ole headstock, the Deluxe would look something like this.
