Can't decide which tele to get >_<

[r3tr0sp3ct1v3]

Okay, so I can't decide between this:
Fender Standard Telecaster Electric Guitar Ash | Musician&#39;s Friend

Pros: It'd be easier to find pickups for if I didn't like the stock ones..
Cons: Not a 7 string.

Then we have this, which just popped up today:
Agile TC-725 Texan Nat Ash 7 String - RondoMusic.com

Pros: 7 string version of the one above.
Cons: Where would I begin to find a 7 string telecaster dual rail pickup?

Help?

well, if you did want rails for the 7, some people have had custom pups from seymour duncan made before. I am sure they could do that.

link is related: Seymour Duncan Cool rails 7 string custom shop pickup. - My Les Paul Forums

between the two....depends on what you wanna use them for.
Like the quality on the fender is not comparable to the agile but if you want 7 strings, you just answered your own question.

Idk about you, but I just bought the Agile 7 Tele as soon as I saw it. So thanks for linking to it! XD

Hells yeah bro! I've been waiting a long long time for a Tele 7. I mean seriously... 15" radius, single coil bridge AND neck, maple neck, natural ash, graphite nut, chrome hardware, black pickguard. Shit, I would buy that Tele a thousand times over lol.

oh yeah, AND grover locking tuners.

I have a Texan T7.
It's a great guitar and the pickups are good stock, I can play everything with it, also metal.
You just have to find the sweet spot for the pickups. If you keep them close to the strings they are twangy else they are a darker. You can also choose to rewind the pups if you don't like them instead of changing them.

You basically have to choose between two alternatives:

• get the t7 and risk it (knowing that changing pups may be expensive) or
• go in a couple of shops and try every tele you find. You will sure find one you love and it may not be the one you expected.

Yeah I definitely agree with this, because I bought the T7 knowing full well that I would either have to have a custom wound high output single coil made, OR, spend the extra money and have the body and the ash tray bridge routed for a humbucker, when I inevitably go to get the guitar refinished. It really all depends on the overall quality of the guitar though. Here's to hoping I don't get a lemon. :fingerscrossed:

 

[noise in my mind]

I'm pretty sure bareknuckle could make a tele 7 dual rail pickup.

I just can't get over the headstock on the Agile, it's repulsive! I'd go Fender personally, but I am a bit of a Fender fanboy, so bare it in mind...

 

[GSingleton]

so like i said....you can get custom pups. -_-

used tele deluxe?

I sold my Fender american standard after I bought my t-7. The guitar is pretty close to perfect for me, being that I love single coils, wide necks and flat fingerboards. If you want a decently priced seven string tele, it's pretty much your only option.
It even gets a very aggressive metal tone when played in a high-gain setting. That's not what I use it for, but it's cool to know it can do it.

Agile needs to go back to the headstocks they used before. They might get sued, though...
