let me just say that im a beginner and this is my first electric guitar.
i liked what the tele offered so i got a squier affinity deluxe tele. the original plan was to get a non deluxe tele but i saw it was there, took a look around and thought that it just had better quality parts so i decided on the deluxe over the original. went to a guitar store and got it, heard the store worker mention something about humbuckers but didnt think much of it. im now home with my tele and just realised that i mightve just fucked up.
so the question is, i have a tele with humbuckers and a strat bridge(idk if that makes a difference), so do i still have the tele sound or have i fucked it up?
i know the question sounds stupid because, why dont i just take a listen myself, but im a beginner and my ears are pretty shit. and im planning to keep using this guitar until it becomes unsave-able(im cheap like that)
tl;dr i have a tele with humbuckers and a strat bridge, i cant hear the difference myself so do i still have the tele sound?
If you’re a beginner, you’re (in my experience) hundreds of hours of playing away from the point where you start worrying about tone. At this point literally any guitar, as long as you are comfortable with the feel of it, will do. Just enjoy playing and enjoy getting better.
