One of the guitars that I am currently thinking about purchasing is a 72' reissue and I have heard from friends who have owned them, that while they sounded good and looked really cool, their sound was not great. Any opinions?

I've got a '72 reissue, and I really like it. Mine is the natural finish w/ the white pearl pickguard. I have a boatload of Teles, and my '72 seems to get more than its share of playing time. In fact, it's one of two that are out right now. The other is a '60s reissue. It's lightweight and is a very nicely put together Tele.

I play mostly in the middle position, as that's where the tone is best for me. I've heard a lot of guys like the '72 for a jazz type sound. I dunno about that, but I like it for Waylon, Merle, Buck Owens, etc.

I play it mostly through a '65 Princeton Reverb reissue or a Super-Champ XD. Right now it's plugged into my Champ 600 and I like its sound.

Try one through different amps and settings - I'll bet you find something you like.
