My first thought would be, I'll pay for you to ship it to me and play it often! :lol:

So I have been playing the crap out of my Les Paul lately and every time I plug it in...... my Fender guitars cry a little bit.

I look around my room and see a pile of gear collecting dust. The question is, should I sell the lesser used Fenders and buy another overpriced Les Paul?

My Les Paul can honestly sound quite like my Fenders.... but my Fenders don't sound like the Les Paul. I must have picked up a strange beast of a Gibson because it really has that awesome treble presence that I love.

50 years from now some punk kid is going to find an unplayed '52 Telecaster reissue if I don't start playing it..... It is a great guitar, but I rarely use the guitar to its full potential. Seems like a waste to not use it.

Convert even further into the dark side, or keep it in hopes that I turn into a country music dude?

Do you need to sell your 52 Tele reissue? It is a great guitar. I have one and it is my number one guitar. If I were you I would keep it unless you really need the money. Also, why do you want to purchase another Les Paul?

OZZY"S WEINER RULES!!!

Anybody can be a Mastercard Maestro.

Why don't you try joining or forming a band?

The live venue is "where the rubber meets the road".

If your chops can't cut it there, it won't matter how many guitars or amps you own......you're merely wasting your time and your money.

Keep the Tele-listen to the voice of experience-I've kicked myself for every guitar I've ever traded except the 78 Strat that I traded for an 83 JCM 800 2204.Believe me a day will come when you'll ask yourself"What possessed me to do that?"

Nevin,
I might be the exact opposite of you....I own a '59 VOS Les Paul and I play my MIM Tele more often! I play my MIM Tele more than the LP, my MIA Tele, and my Gretsch....is that weird?
Ha ha ha

Good luck with whatever you decide to do with the '52 and if you decide to get a '59 LP. You can't really go wrong with the '59. I'll buy your '52 if you NEED to get rid of it.

Both are nice, but that Tele. PLAY IT MAN!

One thing I've always found with Tele's is that they are not really bedroom guitars. They are packhorses that enjoy their work. I think they owe more to the esquire than a lot of people realize, not just aesthetically. They are very much like all those single pickup guitars, there's a danger with em, there's nowhere to hide. Sure you can switch to the neck pickup, or lose the bridge/middle combination completely have your neck pickup with no tone. Go for Baja telecaster wiring and gain one more usable position. Non of it really hides that straight up telecaster sound. Not like a strat with the inbetween sounds and impedance mismatches when you drop one tone control to zero whilst keeping the other on 10. Or like LP's where you can hide in mud on a neck humbucker. You could try going the P90 tele route, I still dont think it would get you away from what the guitar is. A barebones workhorse.
