tele deluxes are great guitars.

agreed. Chris' (honeyisfunny) Tele Deluxe is the best playing guitar i've ever laid my grubby mitts on.

Check Kevin's blog on Myspace. There're gonna be some changes...

I don't think he's being so unreasonable, is he?

He thinks his sounds different. His descrips were much different than everyone else's.

I own two Electrical 500's and they unquestionably have different sounds. Both have the same pickups, but one is sans tone knob. I wouldn't think that would affect the sound, so I'm assuming it's something else. Perhaps something different in the pickups? Don't know, but I believe that holmes may have a legitimite concern. That being said, both of my 500s sound totally awesome, just different. One has a more biting treble sound (#63), while the other has a more mid-range growl to it (#47). I don't know which sound is the "correct" sound, or the sound Kevin was going for.

This is actually Kevin's guitar, I need to ship it back to him.

I've had three Bean basses, and they all sounded different. The differences were not particularly subtle.

Electric guitars are weird instruments. The construction is crudely done relative to a violin or whatever, but they're complicated (vastly so) by virtue of the materials and the accepted standards of construction.

Huge number of different combinations of wood and metal and bone for the body, different sizes of frets, bridge styles all over the place.

Pickups, forget it--change the thickness of a metal pickup cover, and two PUs with the same size magnets of the same material, same gauge of wire, same no. of windings will sound different.

All the contact points are important.

And then you can't really play them in tune!

He had every opportunity to send it back and have it looked at. Still does from what I understand. I haven't talked to Kevin in months, though. It is just that this was bothering him when I last did and I can't believe this guy is still whining.
