Tele Twang Test

Kick Ass baby!!

Observation, your playing as always was excellent, however during the western inspired section I thought you played better on the 25.5 scale maple neck. Just my opinion.........

Great video, I have done the test myself and had same results, I prefer the tone of the 25.5 and I prefer the feel of the Gibson scale. Only solution is to have some of both.

The difference is the scale length and the construction. The fretboard made no difference.
Compare 2 maple/maple necks of each respective scale lengths. There will be a difference in tone.

Thanks for the vid

Wonder if the Vintage Modern vs Modern has a factor as well

I would guess the order of influences is:

1. Scale Length
2. Construction
3. Fretboard wood

That’s a good sound! What I hear is the vintage maple offers a bright and slappy tone. Whereas the SS modern RW construct is a little more gritty. Very subtle and probably not noticeable to most but that’s my take on it. Cool video!

That was cool! I too prefer the maple/longscale neck. What kinda pickups are in that thing?
