Hey guys, this is my first post on this forum, so I'd thought I could share you a story.

About 4 months ago I bought my first electric guitar, a Fender Strat. It felt amazing, and i was overwhelmed with happiness. I mean, I got myself a real (Fender) guitar. The guitar was amazing, and I played it everyday. But as the time went on I felt that something was wrong. Not with the instrument, but with me. And when I feel that something is wrong, I try to fix it. So I contacted the music store where I bought my strat, and told the that I wanted to change. I was thinking that it would be impossible, cuz' a few months had passed, but to my luck they agreed to trade it in. So tomorrow, I'm going to test the American Special tele, and if it's right, I buy it! :D

The funny part about this story is that when I planned to buy an electric, I said to myself that I'd get a tele, but I changed my mind in the last minute. Pretty stupid huh? :evil:

Hope you liked my little story about my GAS for Teles! And sorry if my English is somewhat bad, Swedish is my main language!

Cheers :)
Jooiie

Pic is at the bottom, enjoy! :)

Haha, I've figured that out after looking through all of the "Let's see your telecaster"-thread. :)

Welcome to the forum Jooiie,you'll find Teles and all Fenders in general addictive,one is never enough.Don't give up on the Strat completely they are worth another try and don't forget to post pix of your Tele when you get her.

I just bought that guitar recently. I like it. I like the tone, the feel of the neck, and the playability. And about GAS for a Tele.. I got that GAS right after I bought a Tele.

Thanks guitslinger. I won't let the strat completely, you're right. I'll just let it rest for some time. ;) Unfortunately I wasn't able to get to the music store today, so I'll have to wait for the weekend, or the one after that. Stupid school..

Yeah, I saw your thread. Amazing looking guitar, however I think I'm going for the sunburst.
How are the jumbo frets?Are they much bigger than the medium jumbo, which I have on my strat.

Hey guys!

I went to the music shop, and guess what I ended up with?! A brand new American Special Telecaster! Yay for me! :D :D

I'm so happy right now, such an upgrade from my strat, even through my crappy VOX modelling amp!

Pics coming later or tomorrow!

Yeah, I wanted. They told me that they had it in stock, but when I came there they had no sunburst.. But I must say, the white is pretty damn nice too! I think that I've gotten a little GAS for sunburst when I saw this tele: http://www.thomann.de/gb/fender_62_tele_custom_rw_3tsb.htm

But I'm very happy with the color actually, however it would be nice with sunburst.

I must say that I think the black guard on the white body is very stylish. Seeing these American Specials recently on here makes me think one of them would look nice here at home (the white with black pickguard and maple fingerboard).

Congrats.
