What gives a telecaster "twang"

[-CB-]

I used to enjoy Twang with breakfast... like them NASA guys used to in the 60's.  These days, I need for fibre, so I've switched to comPostum.

You know, hillbilly was not ALWAYS a derogitory term.
When people ask me any questions concerning nationality or heritage, I usually say I'm half rockabilly.
I don't care what people think, I appreciate being a redneck and having nothing to do but play music all day whenever I am out in the American country or on holiday.
For the record, I am lily white and live in queens ny  :icon_jokercolor:

The twang comes from the hillbilly playing it.

Hey, now, I like a bit of twang when I'm playing my rock music!  :toothy10:

You saying you're NOT a hillbilly? :icon_jokercolor:  :laughing7:

Twang: Scale length, neck and body woods, hollow/solid/chambered, bridge design, pickup design, other electronic components (caps). Composite of parts makes up all the twang. Steer the design in the right direction and you'll get it.  :icon_thumright:

My roots definately come from the south.

South of the border!

Mom's from Japan, Dad's from California (San Diego). Can't be TOO southern, even if I've lived in North Carolina my whole life

I knew all that... :icon_biggrin:... but put it this way, Max, you are much closer to the hillbilly counties than me!  And you ain't as 'southern' as Fernando.... he's from the deep,deep - way too deep, south. :doh:

Me? I'm a westie by birth (bogan) and a coastie by residence these days. Checked flannelette shirt and black T-shirt, jeans - my uniform as a kid. :tard:

Flannel is the material, that look is what I call plaid, or tartan (from USA)
I'd call it a Plaid Flannel shirt.

 

[swarfrat]

They make flannel shirts which aren't plaid? Whodathunkit.

 

[pabloman]

That just ain't right. I enjoy plaid. I would like one of these.

 

[AutoBat]

yep. here's a pic of 4 flannel shirts, 2 of which are plaid
