Riley dude, that is a really cool guitar!! I have been considering a Squier John5 model for a while now, only because they are cheap on the pocket & it's a tele H/H which there arent too many of.

But when you think about it, the Blacktop Tele has it all right there. For a few hundred bucks more you cant go wrong with having 'Fender' on the headstock. Compared to the rest of the MIM line, they are excellent value for money!

I say no to the haircut! When I was your age, my hair was just as long. A man should grow his hair long at least once in his life you reckon?

I didn't say he should get a haircut--my teen son's hair gets longer than that.

Leaving his hair long? Who cares?

Putting a label on his brand-new telecaster? Sacrilege!

yeah, the only thing i was the slightest bit concerned about was that it was made in mexico, not a thing to worry about now i just am really amazed at all the tones it has

as much as people want me to get my hair cut, forget it, i'm getting dreadlocks soon anyway

Nice axe Riley. Enjoy it. I played one at the local shop and was quite impressed with it. The pups sounded much better than I thought they would.

Riley,

About the hair issue, grow it longer. When I was your age I had mine to the middle of my back. Had it that way for a total of 5 years before I cut all off.

Again, nice guitar. Sound clip please. I will also post a clip from my Blacktop Strat as well and we can compare tone.

I don't recommend the sticker, the guitar is awesome enough without it. Still, it is your decision to put it on or not.

i'd love to put up a sound demo, but the 2 recording things i have do not capture its true tone, sucks big time

Riley,
Sorry about the hair and that it became an issue. I never meant that you should cut it, but I couldn't resist a joke about how people were so presumptuous to tell young men to get a haircut back in the 60's and early 70's--I remember it, having entered HS in the fall of 1969, less than a month after Woodstock. I had long hair, too, back then, down my back when I was in college. It was tied back for my graduation. My son looks great with long hair, but as a middle-aged man now I just look dopey when it's long

I know the feeling. I have one recording device that does not capture the tone I get from my Gdec. I cannot get a recording from my gdec despite the MIDI/USB cable I just bought. Back to tweeking the Boss ME 25 for better tone.
