Hey,
I recently returned to Fender guitars when I got ahold of a stellar MIM Strat that plays like a dream. I went over my cousin's house to jam a little and remembered that he traded a nice tube amp for his college roommates (we graduated 2.5 decades ago.... :( ) telecaster. He had been playing a really nice USA Hamer Studio for years. I asked him to pull it out. Beautiful guitar. A Real '72 Custom with the natural finish and one piece maple neck. I started playing it through his Custom 5E3 D-lux and it was like magic...... So playable and expressive. His eyes were bulging out of his head. He 'snatched' the tele from me and everything he was playing on that Hamer sounded cleaner, crisper and sweeter on the '72 tele. Wow... We jammed for about 4 hours straight that afternoon.

Needless to say, now my cousin owns about 5-6 teles and that Hamer has been in the case for months. He got ahold of a nice MIA standard in sunburst that he can't stop playing. Both of us had Custom D-lux amps made and realized that the Fender Strats and Teles sound the best through these amps or any of my other Fender amps.... Go figure. Fender guitars sounding good thru Fender amps...

How much is a real '72 Tele Custom worth?
