String trees??

LUKO · February 14th, 2007, 02:48 PM

Was there ever a Tele model that didn't have any string trees?

Thanx for any help :)

I don't think so, the originals only had 1. The experts will tell you all about it soon.

I think you could get away without using a string tree if you used staggered tuners, like the ones on the Eric Johnson Strat. I'm pretty sure that Allparts has a set like that.

I'm not aware of any Telecasters that didn't have string trees though.

I only put one on the E&B strings when I put parts Tele's together, because that's what they did in the '60s.

The American Deluxe Telecaster has staggered tuners but the picture on the Fender website has a string tree.

The John 5 Telecasters don't have string trees .......... probably because he does behind the nut bends.

I put staggered tuners on my Squire 51, which has a tele style neck. The stagger just isn't quite enough angle for me, so I put on one round string tree.

In the telecaster bible (first one) there is a 56 green esquire on , i think page 37, without a stringtree
