I WANT THIS!

 

[tehuk]

Are they mahogany like his tele?

 

[gbsmusic]

I love the black one.

 

[Jay Strange]

Are these also Mexican made. I had a JM Tele
and played others and the consistency was way off.
I sold mine quick!!!

 

[D-Rock]

yeah those are cool , black one please..

 

[D-Rock]

I'd take the white one myself.....

 

[again with this]

I like the black. That's a Strat I could get behind, as long as it sounds and feels as good as it looks.

So...who has actually played one of these?

I can't find one to check out and am thinking of picking up a black one (will replace the pickguard with a white one if I do....have wanted a black strat with dual EMG's and a white pickguard for years and years).

Have a white Jim Root Tele and love it. I wonder if the Strats will feel similar in the neck.

FWIW< I don't really care that these are sig guitars. They have the features I want in a tele and strat.

I may just order from one of the big online houses with a good return policy if I can't find one to play myself.

I am not a fan of the big headstock. Otherwise, I think these look cool...

I had both of the Teles. They were cool enough. But if you even think about playing them, the flat paint starts getting shiny.

My flat black epiphone Les Paul (goth) with no fret markers is now shiny thanks to it being played for 3 years. I assumed the same thing as well for the Fenders, Though to be fair Fender probably uses more durable paint.

Definately try before ya buy.

Its called personality

My Gibson Goth V is the same way. It doesnt even bother me, because I look at it as a part of this finish.
