nevin1985 that is the sweetest Tele I've ever set my eyes on! I've had one in the back of my mind for a while now but since I've bought three new guitars in the last six months (after having the same one for over forty years) I think I better cool it for a while. Not a LONG while....just a while

I'd like to think I'm done buying guitars, but to be honest I think there will likly be one or 2 more. I have never found that one guitar that I feel can do everything and do it well. My favorite one to play is a 2004 American Series Strat. It has great clean tones, but I'm not so wild about it with distortion. I have 2 other Strats, and both sound great for other applications. One of them I really like with distortion, but not clean. I have a Tele I like for certain applications also. My non Fender guitars I like for hard rock with alot of distortion. I have owned a Strat with HSS config., but still found something missing with that one also. The problem is probably with me and not the guitars.

This year was the worst case of GAS I ever had and for now I am contempt but it will strike again. Yes we all have our go to axes and so do the top players but can you really have enoughl Just think if money was no object. Now you understand. lol

I'm good for now.



Until I stumble on another great deal.

Floyd, 'bought an Ibanez lawsuit copy of a Firebird V in Tobacco Sunburst new in '74 (when Gibson was not making them) and it is such an excellent axe, 'have kept it in preference to getting a real one, despite trying...maybe 25.

That said, the Firebird is in this opinion a quite under-rated instrument. While capable of playing veritably anything, it impresses (since this is a Fender Lounge) as a naughtier variant of the Jaguar or Jazzmaster...and yes, you can play surf on one. Or jazz, in addition to the well-known pop music commonly called "blues."
