Not necessarily a "real" '70s Tele, but a guitar which combines different elements from the '60s, the '70s and the present. In a few words, a customized Highway One/American Special Tele guitar.

BTW, I like very much your last quote. "Locked away into a paddle room" makes me laughing. :lol:

Please don't take my notches away. If anything a notchless would be a cheaper way of fabricating the Tele body.

A notched Tele body makes for a better feel quality and construction-wise.

The notchless Teles came as a result of the cheap manufacturing methods occured after CBS bought Fender in 1965.

Decidedly, the CBS era was not a success.

We had to wait two decades until the late Bill Schultz purchased the Fender companies from CBS in 1985 to see a return to the high-quality workmanship the post-CBS period is famous for.
