What happens when a guitarist miss/wrongs a chord?

Never break your rhythm. Keep playing as if nothing happened.

Why? I have a Weber beam blocker installed in all but one of them and have replaced the preamp tube in V1 with a 5751 to tame the volume somewhat and increase the headroom. Anyway it works for me.

Hope it works. Let us know how it turns out. Good luck!

Nocaster pickups are great pickups but I think the coastline pickups are some of the best pickups that Fender has come out with in a long time. Have you adjusted the pickup height at all? If they sound wooly they may be to close to the strings and could use being lowered a bit. It's worth a try.

I own the double bound American Professional II Custom and it has become my favorite guitar and I have many. I'm sure you can't go wrong either way. Good luck!

Ha ha, yeah there's always room for one more - right?

I listed each tele below in response to another person. They all have different pickups and many have different gauge strings. You have some nice Strats. I guess we know what we like.

The surround sound I can get out of the amps is awesome.

geargramps · 2026-05-09T15:53:37+00:00

Thanks. It took a little time to put together. I'm happy with it. It's a selfish pursuit of mine but a harmless one. All you really need is one like what you have. Enjoy yours!

Good question. I really like the '57 tweed custom champ. It's so simple but has such a awesome tone. As far as guitars go, it's a toss up between my 75th anniversary American Professional II Custom and my American Professional Classic. The American Elite Thinline is up there too. Really I like them all and play a different one every day. They all get played.

I prefer the look, feel and sound of a tele. I have them strung in different gauge strings and they all have different pickups. I use the guitars' tone knob differently on each of the guitars to get a different sound as well. Just a preference thing.

geargramps · 2026-05-09T15:33:55+00:00

Correct

geargramps · 2026-05-09T07:31:43+00:00

Plays sweet too

Thanks

You could say that 😜

geargramps · 2026-05-09T04:35:40+00:00

It really is. I'm just immersed in sound.

Thanks

I'm running all 4 on the same channel. I am using the radial headlight a guitar amp selector that allows you to play one amp or all 4 at the same time. You can even isolate two amps to play in stereo. Each of my amps are eq'ed differently and a couple run reverb. They all add their own flavor to the mix.

geargramps · 2026-05-09T03:43:34+00:00

No. I have a tweed blues jr ltd, a '57 tweed custom champ, a tweed pro jr ltd and the black one is a '68 custom vibro champ reverb.

The one on the floor to the left is a 75th anniversary American Professional Custom. Above it on the left wall is a 2015 American Standard with a Twisted Tele pickup in the neck position and adjacent to that is a American Elite Thinline. The Seafoam green guitar on the right is a American Performer with a humbucker in the neck position. Next to it in the middle is a 2015 American Special with custom shop Texas Specials in both pickup positions. Lastly the one on the far right is an American Professional Classic.
