What's your budget look like? That's a big factor.


Well, it's a work in progress. I have about $800 saved right now. My dilemma is I might want to buy some other stuff with this money. My pastor has an amp that he offered to sell me and he just said, have a look at it and give him something for it. I don't even know what it is yet. All I know is it's a head with a speaker in a cabinet. Not real big but not super small. For all I know the thing is a Vintage amp that's worth a ton of money. Because it was his Dad's. But I'll see. If it is worth a bunch of money, I'll just inform him and give it back. Therefore I'd want some kind of practice amp. So, I'm figuring on spending $150 or so on an amp at some point. Then, I would like to buy an audio interface with some mics. I know, I know, I could spend all my $800 on the two things just mentioned. Or, I could wait on all those and spend it all on a better guitar. But as I've been playing them, I've been trying to determine if I really think I NEED the American over the Mexican. I've been debating on selling another pistol to help fund all of this, and then there's Christmas. Which means two things. I could possibly get some money. I have a generous Grandma. And I may possibly use some of money to buy my wife something nice.

So many factors, and not enough brain power to figure it out. So I haven't pulled the trigger yet on anything because of all these factors, plus, I just haven't found one that really screams BUY ME. I played a White/White Mexican that was closely calling my name, but the other factors weigh in on my brain. You know? I wish I had a job where I had all kinds of spending cash, but with health issues in our family and just being on a budget in general, makes my progress slow as to how much I save up. I've been saving this money $20 every 2 weeks for a long time. And I sold a Glock 19. I never took to that pistol. And I don't miss it.

I tried several Teles out a couple of weeks ago; American Standard, Thinline, American Special, and after much playing of each, one after the other, settled on the American Special. It has the Texas Special pickups which have just a bit more beef than the American Standard. I ruled the Thinline out pretty early on, as the two humbuckers just don't really deliver the true Tele sound.(Not for me, anyway) At 800 bucks, I felt the Special was a pretty sweet deal. I love it with my Hot Rod Deluxe! Wish I had gotten one much sooner.

I noticed that model and like it, except the jumbo frets. I want small frets. I wish I could get a mexi standeard with vintage frets.
