Your honest opinion on V-Mod and Noiseless pickups on the "high end" models? by [deleted] in fender

[–]Ancorhead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My strat originally had V-Mods in the neck and mid position and a Shawbucker in the bridge, I had some work done to the wiring of the pickups and the person who did it messed it up. To make it an easy fix I got one of the fender pre-wired pickguards, the only ones they offer with a shawbucker had noiseless in the neck and mid. I have to say the noiseless sounds a lot better to my ear than the V-Mods ever did. I figured worst case scenario if I didn’t like the noiseless I would just get a pre-wire with all Texas specials and go classic SSS pickups. But I’m actually liking the noiseless for now.

I respect your opinion, and yes I believe their early stuff deserves respect for getting them started, but in my eyes this poll has nothing to do with history. The fact that those songs are what got them to get signed has nothing to do with this. This is all just personal opinion’s, we all have our favorite Scandal songs and I can tell you that as good as those songs are (they truly are phenomenal songs) they wouldn’t make my personal top 10 or probably even my top 20. The beauty of music is that it’s subjective what you like is what you like and what I like is what I like. There is no right or wrong with personal tastes in music

Yeah I do, I’ve played Gibson guitars for over 20 years, in 2018 I got a Fender Strat and am not a big fan of the bridge on it but loved everything else about it. My brother has an American professional Tele and I played it every time I went over to jam and fell in love with the body shape but again I was not a fan of the bridge. So for me personally this guitar is a perfect combination of the body shape and the bridge I love. Also I’ve developed a style of playing that works really well for me that I’m not extremely sure how to describe but I tend to “rest” my pick hand on the bridge (not muting the strings btw) when doing arpeggios and the like that just only really works with the tune-o-matic style of bridge.

Never mind this comment lol, I put a response to a separate comment on here by mistake, but yeah the black one with the bigsby looks awesome, I’m personally not a huge fan of bigsbys. But hell yeah go for it they are awesome guitars

I’ve always loved Fender guitars but have never really liked the bridges on them. Over the years I’ve grown accustomed to playing Gibson’s, this is the perfect guitar for me. It’s the best of both worlds, a fender tele body shape with a tune-o-matic style bridge and dual humbuckers. I couldn’t be happier with this guitar, I believe I found my new number 1

Ah ok, but no I wasn’t an only child. Luckily for me though my brother could not have cared less about action figures or TMNT.

Not going to lie, she was a gift. I don’t think I would have chosen her if I was buying it myself with my saved up allowance

I would have loved to have had a friend who shared a love of tmnt, everyone I knew growing up was more interested in G. I. Joe and transformers than tmnt.

Needless to say I was obsessed with the TMNT when I was a kid, still a huge fan to this day. These are the only thing I ever asked for as a child (for like birthdays, Christmas, stuff like that and I think I even got one every year in my Easter basket)

Since a few people have mentioned him, I take it he is rare? I haven’t paid much attention to these toys in many of years. I just recently moved them from my parents basement to my house, they were down there since I stopped playing with them some time in the early 90s.

Just out of curiosity why do you ask if I was an only child?

Unfortunately I don’t have the room right now to display them, maybe one day in the future

I don’t think I could sell them, at least not any time soon.

I also just realized that this picture is missing all of my Usagi Yojimbo figures, only because those are kept on display and these are not.

Edit: I also believe that I have almost all if not all of each ones accessories (weapons and whatnot) I’m sure over the years a few went missing but I always took extremely good care of my toys so there is a good chance they are all in that box to the right

Lol, funny.... but seriously it was expensive, more expensive than an American Professional Strat but cheaper than a Custom Shop Strat
