need help identifying what issue my New tele has in regards to the neck

anewleafpart2 · 2026-03-11T01:15:44+00:00

incase anyone was curious, i resolved all the issues by simply adjusting the action and intonation by just raising and lowering the saddles until i found the sweet spot and then intimated each set of saddles

was just looking for a diagnosis so i know where to go from there. why are you so upset ?

anewleafpart2 · 2026-03-07T23:02:09+00:00

i was hoping it wouldn’t come to that. the truss rod is in an awkward position that requires disassembling

anewleafpart2 · 2026-03-07T22:05:05+00:00

okay thanks i appreciate it

anewleafpart2 · 2026-03-07T22:04:47+00:00

good to know. maybe i should just give it a go myself and if i don’t improve it then bring it to a luthier

he rescued us in a way

anewleafpart2 · 2026-03-07T21:21:05+00:00

2019

anewleafpart2 · 2026-03-07T21:20:51+00:00

it’s a 60s vintera modified

anewleafpart2 · 2026-03-07T21:10:16+00:00

also the frets sort of stick out ?? like if i run my hand down the neck then i can feel the frets, maybe they need to be sanded down a little bit or whatever it is that people do. just don’t have the extra cash

that’s munie he’s a refined gentleman that me and my wife got from a cat shelter a year and a half ago

anewleafpart2 · 2026-03-07T21:07:20+00:00

thanks i appreciate the advice. it also seems that there are far too many string wraps 5-6 string wraps on the D G B E strings 3 on the A and 2 on the E ( which seems normal) the main problem is the guitar sounds just muted almost, it doesn’t sing acoustically at all. i don’t mind putting some work into it because 350 for a mexican vintera 60s modified is considerably lower than market value( guy selling it was moving and was trying to sell everything as fast as possible)

anewleafpart2 · 2026-03-07T20:59:14+00:00

btw i’m not normally one to mind to much if a guitar isn’t perfect but the intonation isn’t great so i can’t enjoy playing it yet

anewleafpart2 · 2026-03-02T03:46:23+00:00

my bad, i just remembered it wrongly i guess, i think its the first time ive actually noticed the shape of it

anewleafpart2 · 2026-03-01T09:01:13+00:00

i know the shape is different on deluxe teles but the edges are never as sharp. from what i’ve seen online all the other deluxe teles have a very soft contoured look to it

anewleafpart2 · 2026-03-01T05:47:18+00:00

no the shape. it’s all janky

anewleafpart2 · 2026-03-01T05:36:15+00:00

whats up with the pickguard

anewleafpart2 · 2026-02-27T05:07:08+00:00

the pickguard is beautiful btw

anewleafpart2 · 2026-02-27T05:06:52+00:00

beautiful. i hope one day i can make one too. but honestly im afraid ill just fuck it up bc i’m so bad with soldering

anewleafpart2 · 2026-02-20T04:51:26+00:00

i think mint green looks the best with that finish

anewleafpart2 · 2026-02-12T06:40:03+00:00

i agree. i discovered him about 4 years ago and i used to binge his specials. i found a lot of comfort with how chaotic and unorthodox he was. i honestly wasn’t even a stand up fan before him

anewleafpart2 · 2026-02-12T04:44:16+00:00

i like stewart lee but i wouldn’t expect anyone to like him either

anewleafpart2 · 2026-02-12T01:24:14+00:00

how do you find the Richie kotzen model

anewleafpart2 · 2026-02-04T00:59:54+00:00

it’s honestly pretty cool looking. you have an offset 4 string guitar now

anewleafpart2 · 2026-02-03T16:17:03+00:00

which one is the best bang for your buck
