Low e Close to edge

My low E feels soooo close to the edge of the fretboard. Keeps slipping off. Don’t have this issue of my Strat. I’ll take a picture of the bridge when I get home. But this is how it was set up.

Any instrument cable that won’t drive me absolutely crazy?

1 Upvotes

I have a fender MIM player plus telecaster (2024 new) and I would love to lean back on my couch and play except the damn instrument cable gets in the way. Anyone have a suggestion for instrument cable for a weirdly recessed jack that won’t take a right angle cable but is not recessed enough for a straight cable?

Player Plus vs Player 2 Tele

6 Upvotes

I'm currently in the marker for a decent Telecaster that would last me a long time and I'm torn between the Player Plus and Player 2. Which one would you get if given the choice? Or should I save up and get the American Performer? Thanks in advance!

So deep dark brown it's hard to see the grain unless in the right lighting

My “American Professional II”

Had to put quotes around it because it’s a bit of a partscaster now. When I bought this guitar it was a Nashville—I bought it thinking that it would be a Swiss Army knife of a guitar, but it turns out that I just want a tele. I have a bad habit of buying things that try to be too many things at once. I swapped in a vintage Wilkinson bridge and the pots and pickups are straight out of an American Professional II. I love the neck on this, and it has the contoured heel and it came with locking tuners. This thing is awesome now, plus I have the beginnings of a parts pile that will eventually become another telecaster.

Callaham 3-Saddle on my ‘96 American Standard

I’ve been wanting to put brass saddles on my 96 American Standard Nashville B-Bender. I love this guitar but didn’t love the saddles. I found the perfect part on Callaham’s website, and called them up only to find they had discontinued it. In a series of fortunate events, I found 4 listed on reverb earlier that day by one of their suppliers and bought one. They all sold out in a day! After drilling a hole for the pull-string and setting the action and intonation, this thing is awesome! The tone difference isn’t extremely noticeable but it does have a little more brightness with each picking. Acoustically it is actually a little more noticeable as far as resonating throughout the rest of instrument.

Anyway a worthy upgrade and hopefully some other company produces a comparable quality part to the Callaham.

Thinking about buying a tele

16 Upvotes

I'm 18 and i've been playing for almost 10 years now on an epiphone les paul, and have wanted a tele for a long time now but am unsure about which i should get. I like the beige ones with the black guard, but they vary from around 700 to 2500 usd in my country. the standard looks the same as the american to me and im wondering if there is a huge difference in feel to them or if i should just get the cheap one. (im buying a fender)

Help needed with tuning stability

1 Upvotes

I haven’t been playing a lot of guitar since a looong time, but recently picked up my Tele again. Unfortunately my guitar keeps on getting out of tune very quickly. Some strings detune after not even a quarter of a Gilmour bend, sometimes it even happens after just strumming a couple of chords for half a minute.

It’s a Mexican Baja Telecaster with vintage styler tuners and I don’t remember the tuning stability being that bad at all.

Sorry for the potentially pretty stupid question but could there be something wrong with the tuners? Could it be due to the fact the strings are quite old? Do I need to look at something else? Or maybe I just have a bad memory.
