Just scored this 2008 MIM Tele off Ebay for what I thought was a ridiculously low price. Cant' wait to get it in my hands. Then of course I'll start modding it. :)

Thanks all... of course I will post pics. Hey ES11, the guitar in your avatar pic looks strangely familiar.

Lovely guitar Norton,you should give yourself some time to get used to the guitar before you decide to mod it.A lot of people mistakenly think that you have to upgrade a MIM Tele because they are in some way inferior but that's not at all true.I have an '04 MIM Tele and she sounds and plays beautifully.Anyway enjoy your new guitar,Teles are just great.

Nice score! I don't see too many southpaw Teles for some reason?

Good advice, I think I'll take it. Yeah, after looking around on this and other forums I realized that I was one of those guys that wanted to just jump right in and start changing things. I realized just today (before I read your post, actually,) that I would be doing myself and the guitar an injustice by not giving it at least a few months as it is.

BTW, I see a lot of talk about a 4-way switch. With only two pickups, what does a 4-way switch do? (See? There I go again. :lol: )
