let me just say that im a beginner and this is my first electric guitar.
i liked what the tele offered so i got a squier affinity deluxe tele. the original plan was to get a non deluxe tele but i saw it was there, took a look around and thought that it just had better quality parts so i decided on the deluxe over the original. went to a guitar store and got it, heard the store worker mention something about humbuckers but didnt think much of it. im now home with my tele and just realised that i mightve just fucked up.
so the question is, i have a tele with humbuckers and a strat bridge(idk if that makes a difference), so do i still have the tele sound or have i fucked it up?
i know the question sounds stupid because, why dont i just take a listen myself, but im a beginner and my ears are pretty shit. and im planning to keep using this guitar until it becomes unsave-able(im cheap like that)
tl;dr i have a tele with humbuckers and a strat bridge, i cant hear the difference myself so do i still have the tele sound?
Do you like the way the guitar sounds? That’s the only thing that really matters. If you’re only a beginner, you’re not playing out, you don’t need a specific sound anyway.
To be fair it doesn’t matter a huge amount of you’re not a beginner either. How many times have you been to a gig and thought the guitarist was great but would’ve been better with single coil / humbucker pick ups?
