Guitar Dreaming Update Update

Got to play Ryan’s Epiphone Dot last weekend for Overdrive and HSM. It was awesome playing with everyone. I had a great time and hope to do it again if they let me.

So I’ve been narrowing down my Telecaster hopefuls and amp hopefuls.

So let’s take a look at the guitars first in order of what I like best so far…

Lite Ash Tele

• Birdseye Maple Fretboard w/abalone inlays
• Nashville Color
• Seymour Duncan: APTR-1 Alnico II Pro (neck), APTL-1 Alnico II Pro (bridge)
• Great tone, look, and feel
• Brass saddles on the bridge.  Perhaps someday I’d upgrade it to an acoustic fishman bridge

Nashville Power Tele

• Acoustic Pickup w/Fishman bridge that is a better bridge in general
• Three Pickups giving the strat sound
• -no maple fretboard, I’d have to settle for rosewood
• -no natural color, I’d have to settle for sunburst

Nashville Tele

• Maple Neck
• Three Pickups Strat Style
• No natural so have to settle for the sunburst

So far I’m leaning for the Lite Ash.  I love the neck on it and the upgrade in pickups is tone booster that would be great.

And for the amps…

Fender Blues Jr. NOS Lacquer Tweed Guitar Combo

• Tube Amp
• 15 Watts
• Love the Brown Tweed Color

Fender Blues Junior Combo Amp 

• Same as above I think but cheaper

Fender Pro Junior Combo Amp

• All Tube
• Only Volume an tone
• 15 Watts

I’ve also been recommended a Vox by Scott but it’s a little pricey.  But I definitely want to stay small and go with a tube.  It would be nice to have an overdrive channel but that won’t matter if I get some pedals.
