Yep, that's a great guitar, a friend of mine has one. I prefer solid bodies though. More sustain (especially the LP). As for blues, my LP has p90 pickups. They give a nice crunchy sound

I hate tremolos. One reason I bought a Tele instead of a Strat. Strat would be great, but I would fix the tremolo to the body. I have an Aria superstrat with Floyd rose, changing a string takes ages and I hardly even use the tremolo.
 
I found the Rose tremolo makes a Strat sound tinny. I have a trem on the Strat, but rarely attach the bar for it.

The Artcore has great sustain, but you have to watch the feedback, which is true with any hollow body. For killer crunch, I modified an old Vantage electric. I stripped the paint off and stained it, it looks WAY better. I took out the double coil pickup in it that was okay, but not very crunchy and replaced it with a Fred pickup (George Lynch's favorite pickup) and that thing will sustain for days.

Nope, I really love the single coils on this Tele. The neck pickup is silky smooth and the bridge position razor sharp and I'm afraid that the tele will sound too much like the Les Paul with some humbuckers. My Les Paul is a brute. Although it has singel coils, it has more output than most of the humbucked Ibanezes I played on. It already gives quite some cruchy distortion on my clean channel if I'm not too careful. (Great for blues ) I have thought about changing the p90's for humbuckers, but didn't do it. The p90's have a very distinct sound, little more bite than a PAF with the same output. I'll have to live with the single coil noices on high gain though, but after time you start to like it

I wanted something more subtle than the Les Paul and the tele gives me that. But that bridge pickup can also really scream and is surprisingly quiet at high gain

Yep, that was my problem, too. I'm selling the Aria as I don't play it anymore. Tomorow a potential buyer will come and try it. I've just searched the house for that stupid handle. Been lost for ages. Luckily I just found it
 
Humbuckers are pretty awesome but if your going to buy a tele in my opinion you buy it for single coil use.

Some people hot rod them and you can buy em buckered but it doesn't sit right with me anyhow.


Good luck with the sale Marcel.
 

You said my name twice? ok les I will see what I can do, I just need a haircut first!

Thanks Heinz. The guy liked the guitar (I can imagine as it is in perfect shape) and bought it. So it went alright. Feels kinda strange, it was my first electric one. But I out-grew it so to say.
 
I know what you mean. I traded my first electic a few years back but my first ever guitar ( classical acoustic ) I'll never part with.

I also sold my half stack for good now, its gone. On the brightside I have my room back as it took up half of it
