Do you use only its Tele sound or do you experiment to get other sounds (Strat etc)?

Recently got a red one and its sounds great. Like its overall tone and lead bite. But to my ears it is more Strat sounding in all 5 positions. Does not sound like my 52 Tele.

So how do you set and play yours? What sounds have you gotten from yours?

New guitars, old amps. Perfect.

If you mean the MIJ version, I bought one in 1995 and still love it. I played it stock for a few years but ended up installing Seymour Duncan pickups and re-wiring it with a standard 3-position switch.

It plays and sounds great. I really like the neck shape and the light weight. The setup and action are dead solid and I haven't needed to make any adjustments at all.

It sounds right at home with other Tele's I have, including my '52 Hot Rod.
