Hey gang... just wanted to say hello. I'm new to the Fender world . Just purchased a Limited Edition Troublemaker Telecaster. I love it !! Dual Shaw humbuckers on a Tele !! It sounds amazing. I've been waiting for this Tele, back routed, with a mahogany body and maple top for years. My visions are finally a reality in Ice Blue Metallic !!

Welcome aboard!

And yes... more pictures are mandatory for forum membership :lol:

Unfortunately, Fender doesn't host attachments, images need to be stored online like Imgur and linked using the IMG command.

What the guys said above. :-)

Welcome to the happy band and enjoy your first Fender, once you start it is difficult to stop.

I am looking forward to seeing the pictures. :-)

I'm trying to figure out the picture posting process. I've created and posted on an image site called Imgur. I can't seem to get the post to embed the pictures. I'm using the IMG and URL buttons but they don't seem to be linking to the url I've inserted. Randy

Nice looking Tele, and amps too. That really is a noise maker, no wonder you need the sound proffing. :D

I love the Troublemaker.
All the best parts of a Les Paul, and even better, it's not made by Gibson so the quality is top notch!


And the headstock won't break off if you look at it cross-eyed :lol:

Had not seen that before.
Interesting, though the new model is electronically comparable to the Tele Deluxe, ignoring the treble bleed. The biggest thing that stands out on the Troublemaker though, outside of the minimalist pickguard, is the Tune-O-Matic bridge design.
Not the same as the Jag/Jazzmaster, but reminiscent.

I really, really like this guitar... I just can't justify dropping 20 Benjamins on one.

Ice Blue looks cool but I like Ice Tea Burst better.

I'd be happy with either...and happier still with both. :-)
