ACDC with Telecaster

I agree. I fired up my Z Wreck last night and plugged my FSR Black Paisley Tele straight into it. With the amp's volume at noon "Shook Me All Night Long" sounded sweet!

I've been playing AC-DC & ZZ Top on a tele for years and love the tones I get.

I use vintage fenders or Dr Z maz 18 with a Keeley modified ts 9 and it smokes any rock sound I want.

 

Yeah, me too! It's not so much about copping the tone for me as copping the feel.

I generally use my Esquired Paisley through my 5150 Combo. I plug into the low-gain input, use the Rhythm channel, and crank the post-gain knob.

 

Just goes to show you can play just about anything with a Telecaster and the right amp. For me, a 5E3 circuit and a Tele is as close to perfection as I can get.

 

Same here....infact the tele's versatility was one of the major factors that decided that a telecaster will be my first guitar
Initially wanted an sg before i fell in love with 'the twang' but i am able to get an sg-ish tone with my tele just fine

 

I'm a recent convert to Teles myself after always playing Strats. I always thought they would be uncomfortable to play due to the non contoured body. But they really are versatile & comfortable to play. And I really like the simplicity of the controls and overall design. Everything works in simple harmony to make a great sound and feel.

 

If you've got a four-way pickup selector switch and some fairly hottish s/c Tele pups, ACϟDC is well within reach with just a chord and nicely toasty tube amp.

 

supposedly Mal did the entire back leg of the 1977 tour with a Tele.

 

Love it, Mal suits the tele,seen the" blood tour with Bon Scott,late 70s Teles can please everyones taste.

 

Of course it sounded sweet through your Z Wreck, I'd expect nothing less from such a sweet amp!

 

Tube Amp clean high volume and smash them strings = AC/DC's tone.

 

You play Ac/dc with a 5150?

 

All I use to reach a point of " MalcolmAngusness " is my Tele with the bridge tone rolled back, an O.D. box turned up just a little to add a bit of hair and my PRRI. I have found most folks go overboard on the OD / distortion with AC/DC. Just think of it as the blues sped up and turned up.

 

My Crook T does a decent job. The bridge pup is a T-50 Voodoo (10k) so nice and fat with that Tele bite gets me close.

 

I have no trouble at all doing AC/DC.....Ron kirn tele into a Vox ac15...Stomp on the OCD and all is well...

 

Actually, I get pretty decent AC/DC (Bon era) tones with a classic 30 and a Tele. As long as you play those Malcolm approved open (first) position chords it sounds pretty close.

Which goes to show once again, it's more the style (technique) than the gear.

 

thats the key for me. OCD with gain around 1:30

that said my Gibson SG with mini-buckers says AC/DC more.

 

The embedding is disabled, but this guy has got it exactly right.

AC/DC is about the amp. And the right hand.
