Hi, I just got my very first Fender guitar (its an american standard telecaster, 3 color burst with a rosewood fingerboard). I had been playing a gibson Les Paul for a while but the weight (12.7 lbs) and the muddled tone pretty much brought me right to 1950s era "brightness" found in the new Tele. To be honest, I went to the guitar store and told the clerk that I didnt even want to try anything with a Fender logo because "Im a Gibson person".. He smiled while I tried about 20 different GLPs and ES-335s.. and then when I hadn't found what I wanted, he walked over and asked me to just TRY a Telecaster.. Three days later, the right color guitar came in and I brought it home. Next step, amplifiers (I was a marshall person, but that 57 Bandmaster looks really nice).

That's truly a great story, Jay.

Gibbys and Fender make great guitars, and you'll find a lot of like minded guitarists here. You'll fit in just fine.

Thanks, for your introduction.from a territory of great music history.
