I bought it on Ebay on the 14th, finally got it today! 2006 MIM lefty. I must say that I was pleasantly surprised and extremely happy with the playability and sound of it. It's beautiful, it feels good and sounds awesome plugged straight into my SF Champ. I don't plan on doing anything to this guitar for a long time, except to play it of course.

It looks great and it's cool to hear that you don't already have plans to modify anything......yet. :wink:

Good luck with it!

Thanks. Yeah, when I first started looking at it I had big plans... strip the poly, butterscotch blond, vintage tint on the neck then nitro the whole thing, Fender Original Vintage pickups... but I'm quite happy with it right now. I'm sure I'll eventually change out the pups, but not for a while.

Nice Tele. Their addicting, I`m willing to bet you`ll be looking for another one in the future. I had 5 and sold 4, the one I have now is an Am. Deluxe. This one I`m keeping and will probably think about getting a 52 RI when I gas out again.

I love the look of a sunburst Tele,I have an '04 MIM Tele and the pickups cut through any mix like icepicks-no need for pup swaps in my case.You got yourself a bona fide beauty.

I can tell by the number of pictures that you are in love :mrgreen: Yes, it is great to hear you are not ready to tear it apart. Just play and enjoy and see what the current arrangement has to teach you.
Congrats !!!!
