crestingwaves Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 What is the guitar that Chris is using in Chinese Sleep Chant? It looks like a mix of about 3 Fenders. Can someone please elaborate?? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorffy Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Isn't it just his Fender Telecaster Deluxe with humbuckers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crestingwaves Posted October 26, 2008 Author Share Posted October 26, 2008 Well, it definately has humbucker pick-ups. But it has a weird head i thought. But I can't rightly remember. If someone can, can you please post some pictures of it up here as well? Does anyone have any info on this guitar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorffy Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 I'm sure it's a Telecaster Deluxe from the 70's. They have humbuckers, a pickguard that doesn't differ that much from the thinline, and a strat-head. This model came to life together with the humbucker Thinline in '72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fakfak Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Actually, both of Chris' Tele Deluxe's are the reissue ones, not vitage 70's models. Basically, the main difference is that the pickups are now more sonically(sp?) similar to gibson humbuckers as opposed to the tone of the original fender wide range pickups. He's been using these guitars since at least as far back as the AROBTTH tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorffy Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Ahh.. i was sure they were vintage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fakfak Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 "Ahh.. i was sure they were vintage" Maybe they are now. I do know that at least as recently as the Twisted Logic Tour he was playing reissues though. However, the ones he used to use were black, so this one could be new (old rather).

crestingwaves Posted October 28, 2008 Author Share Posted October 28, 2008 Cool, thanks very much!!! Brilliant guitar. I'll add it to wish list! :lol: Does he use it for any other songs apart from Chinese Sleep Chant in the setlist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crestingwaves Posted October 28, 2008 Author Share Posted October 28, 2008 Can anyone find a link for it on the Fender website?? I can't find it there! EDIT: Wait. I take that back.

fakfak Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 I don't think he currently uses it live for anything but CSC, but he's used them fairly extensively in the past. Usually though in the past, he played an all black model. Thom Yorke also uses one a lot, but I know for sure his is vintage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sp★rkle Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Oh I've been wanting a Stratocaster since High school! But since my Dad got me a Yamaha acousic guitar for my 15th birthday, I can't just ask him for another one! haha By the way, what's the difference between a Stratocaster from a Telecaster?

but a dream Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 There is the difference in shape, for instance. For the more nitty-gritty stuff, I'll leave it to the experts here to explain :nice: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dorffy Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 The Telecaster has a more "twangy sound" from it's bridge pickup. The telecaster only has two pickups, while the strat has three. Now i'm talking about the standard models. There are several varieties of the two models, and especially the telecaster. The thinline and deluxe has double humbuckers to complement the standard version, who has double singlecoils. It's all about taste and use.

Not really a fan of a "twangy sound" (but I believe you can achieve this through gadgets, right?) So, I still prefer a Strat. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, I still prefer a Strat. :P The twangy sound is a combo of the pickup placement and the resonance of the guitar. You could probably replicate it to some degree, but a Strat will never sound like a tele and vice versa. And that's a great thing really :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
but a dream Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Admittedly, I've not played a Strat before :embarassed: But I love my Thinline's sound. It's true that it's all up to your personal preference. Others can give you advice, but only you can decide what is best for yourself :nice: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just a matter of finding the right combination of guitar/amp/effects.
