Are Telecasters acceptable in metal?

If it does the job, why wouldn't it be?

Is the niche that would actually enjoy that kind of drawing really big enough to warrant creating it?

Also only poseurs care about which gear is used to create a sound.

Jim Roots telecaster is literally just some ibanez in another body

Jim Root is a fucking Poser. he wants to be a special snowflake because he is using Tele and Jazzmaster bodies in Metal. Actually these guitars are made of mahagony and have humbuckers. Totally untrve.

listen to ISIS and you have the answer

Maiden use them so they are acceptable.

You sound like a poser yourself m8

It's spelled poseur actually so you're both poseurs.

Jari from Wintersun used to use a telecaster and got some pretty good sound out of it

I think he switched to one of those Steve Vai Ibanezszs though

I know Jari used some telecaster knockoff on the first Wintersun album.

Why not? Put a hot rail @ bridge and you're set.

I thought Iron Maiden uses a Strat.

Absolutely. Why should you give a flying fuck what guitar people use anyways.

I thought they use the Ibanez Destroyer.

most guitar players in metal use humbuckers and it's obvious why

>slipknot
>metal

This. The only thing I wouldn't recommend are semi-hollow guitars, unless you want all this feedback. Just pick up a guitar that sounds and feels good to you

Who the fuck thought it was a good idea to only light that guy's nose?

Sure, humbuckers are good for rock and metal, but they are not typical for a Telecaster. People buy Teles for the twang.

Are Orange Amps acceptable in metal?

Because it's a fucking tele.

velvet cacoon recorded pr.33 on a semi-hollow and it sounds amazing

>made of mahagony
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

>what is doom metal

Turner is the main reason why I'm considering buying a tele, I masturbate to the guitar tone on NO

You underestimate the guitar community thats obsessed with tone

>What is stoner metal?

look at that honker

>single coil/lipstick/stacked
not really, but at this point in history it really doesn't matter

>powered humbuck/high output humbuck
is it really a tele then? and if you are using powered pickups the guitar shape really makes little difference

>The shape of a piece of wood is the only thing that determines an instrument's suitability for different genres of music

As a guitarfag, if you hear a sound you like and you want to sound similar, it helps to know what the professional plays. Also, sometimes it's nice to see guitarist you respect play a simple rig. Like Santana.
