My Fender Special Edition Custom Telecaster Spalted Maple Top HH

YES! now is a great time to bring stuff that made my ass work hard lately and forgot to blog. A new guitar for my playing. it’s Fender Special Edition Custom Telecaster Spalted Maple Top tele® HH and she’s gorgeous! I’d been read about this stuff and its reviews several years ago and luckily i met this Fender last year. actually, it took me a year later to take this to my house but i have no complain at all about this spalted maple tele.here i share some pictures i made for this guitar and i think you’ll like it. The guitar itself is a Set Neck Tele and it has beautiful finish well-crafted by Korean manufacturer. this fender special edition custom spalted maple tele is using rosewood fretboard. It has fine playability, the design is natural and very beautiful, i got mine with fire-like spalted maple design.

a brief fender spalted maple telecaster review about the playability that some owners of this guitar said is, Fender Telecaster spalted maple top has a les paul feel. hmm, at first in playing it I couldn’t find this, but after couple minutes, yes, for seconds i felt like i’m holding a les paul guitar. It might be the neck size and color and similar pickups it used those cause this. but the two Seymour Duncan humbuckers operated by push-pull tone knob and three-tone switch are good ideas in changing sound characters on live performances. it’s quite convenient. there’s no complain about the neck, but I’ve been holding the 24-frets neck for years and i guess i need more practices to feel this guitar neck. the guitar neck is great, while me-gotta practice more and more. this two pictures i made here somehow reminds me the led zeppellinsong title, “stairway to heaven“. 😀 i just love this tele..

this spalted maple tele is on 2007 year made, i am the next owner and currently i couldn’t find the new one for this. probably Fender switches this product to Custom Telecaster FMT HH which it has great reviews, too. but i couldn’t make any negative reviews about my Fender Spalted Maple Top Tele® since it has been so great, and the more i couldn’t wait to make video reviews about stuff i use 😀 still making experiments for my own videoblog and sound recording for blogs, wish me luck!

Old Fernandes Revolver still rocks!
While until now i still keep my saving to get a fine Telecaster, i currently use Fernandes, a 90’s guitar japanese made. Old enough with good treatment. i bought it from my friend’s store about a half year ago.

Fernandes Revolver FR-55T Made in Japan 90’s era

It is a good guitar with stratocaster tone. with a reasonable price, i got a worth maple wood guitar japanese made. the pickup is Fernandes’, the nuts and the bridge are Gotoh. this is Fernandes Revolver FR-55T Made in Japan 90’s era. Sugoi !

hmm.. what can i say more about this guitar? it well-suited on my hands although i prefer my other custom-made guitar which has smaller guitar neck.
```
yes, i'm a little guitar guy with bunch of difficulties in learning guitar and still wondering how to play it in best style i can get.
```
But, indeed it is an old guitar. it has noise as i guess it’s because the circuitry needs to be repaired. renew them with the newest technology. yes, DiMarzio or Seymour Duncan’s stuff would be the best i can get to optimize this guitar performance.
well, i might need to change the bridge, it rusted a little bit. and a lot more i want for enhancements.

but,… on the second thought, i’d like to keep it classic. it would sound like that i have something valuable from the past. i won’t try to make it a “worn-out guitar” by scratching it here and there. i don’t have a heart to do it. when i need a new one, I WILL get one.

here I upload some pictures of it, and what I got form digging information about this guitar is very interesting. Fernandes guitar has been evolving rapidly. they have fine-crafted guitars with good woods and fine materials. Here are some the newest Fernandes products you might be interested in.

nowadays, Fernandes guitar is claimed as rocker’s need while I have the old one with the blues tone. and I think it’s because the pickups evolution. Fernandes Guitars have sustainer system inside them which is likely similar to an E-Bow. I mean the latest ones have them.

I’m still using this guitar because i like the tone its created. that’s enough for now i guess. Another model of fernandes guitar I own goes here >> Fernandes FR55 MTV guitar

and one more model i owned is a Fernandes strat style:

and probably the last thing happened with them is they’re gone for good! please check my article about the Fernandes guitar newest update .

I’ll see you around

get yourself some fine guitar

as the very first post, this is the best recommendation for anyone who want to play guitar. well, I’ve been playing for several years and I’m still looking for the most suitable guitar for me. for my very first guitar is an acoustic guitar.

some considerations when you choose a fine guitar on the internet are too difficult to understand by people who know a little about guitar, so i made some simple points for you to think about.

– choose your favorite song(s) and find out stuff about them. the song themselves are representing your taste of music. the song you learn will be your influence for your guitar playing. if it is played by acoustic guitar, you may find playing an acoustic guitar would be fun and beautiful; you choose the natural sound and it suits everywhere in the world. Or, if it is played by electric guitar, yes, there will be more fun in exploring various sound and style of playing. you might know some popular guitar virtuoso with their distinctive music.

i wanna some rock! I’ll get some jazz! i conquer them all !!.. say it and it’s a starting point of your life to become great guitarist.

– when it comes to technical, now we’re talking about woods and the precision of guitar making. maple woods and mahogany are well known as woods those has the best tone and the easy-crafting for guitar. google them and you will find out why. next thing is, the guitar precision. to accomplish best sound, you will see, the guitar precision has the big role. some of well-known brands is used by famous guitarists to produce millions of beautiful songs.

remember, your taste of music define your sound and the fine guitar explain your playing.

well i guess this would be enough for now,… I’ll be back with more great and better post. now I’m preparing images and videos for this blog, hope you will enjoy them as i enjoyed making them.
