I was thinking about getting a Blacktop Tele. Anyone have any opinions , or can tell me about the pros and cons of that series.

Thanks

I love my Blacktop Tele, I can get just about any sounds I want with it. The neck is very nice as is the finish on the body. I'm into blues and classic rock and it loves to go either of those places. :D

I have a CA Red/Maple neck BT Tele on the way from Sweetwater as we speak. I'm also interested in hearing opinions. I can't wait to get my hands on it. Merry Christmas to me.

I picked up a Blacktop in March '11. Fantastic guitar. Great neck, very comfortable to play. When I picked it up in the store I didn't put it down again until it was on the checkout counter. I just carried it around with me 'cuz I thought someone else would grab it if i set it down.

Now almost a year later what do I think? Still a fabulous guitar. Plays AC/DC and BTO great, excellent for ZZ top. But.... it just doesn't have the snap to run through my Fender Champ 600 tube amp. It gets a bit muddy. My solution? I bought a Roadhouse Strat and that sounds fabulous through the Champ. The Blacktop I run through my small non-tube Orange amp and it sounds fantastic as well. But the Strat sounds not so good through the Orange. Go figure?

But the best solution will be coming for X-mas... I'll be picking up a Road Worn tele. I feel highly confident that that should solve all of my technical issues. :D :D :D
