It cries
Named after the crying sustain, this is the mutt of the range. Not the best looking guitar in town due to the three pickup configuration and cream P90 covers (which I will be changing now that the black covers are on their way) but the sounds you can coax from this guitar are just sweet. The heavier gauge strings, coupled with a one piece heavy mahogany body and rosewood fingerboard give this guitar a true warmth. The P90 pickups really drive the amp giving you sounds you'd never usually expect from a Tele guitar. In the bridge position there's the classic sound with the extra warmth that comes from having a mahogany body but its in positions 2-5 that this guitar really pushes the traditional telecaster sound. With typical strat style switching there's a great array of sounds without resorting to push/pull pots. Roll back the tone for sweeter highs, keep it on 10 and there's the growl and bite.
Mahogany body with maple neck and rosewood fingerboard. Our Classic Alnico 5 Telecaster Pickup in the bridge, Classic P90 in the middle and neck - there's a real sweet sustain to this one that makes the notes in the higher register cry out that little bit longer.
