I'm kind of amazed it took me this long to finally get a Tele; don't know if you can tell by my screen name but I'm a bit of a Keef fan :wink: . Not to mention Jimmy Page, the Boss, Jonny Greenwood, Prince, etc., a million of other players who have profoundly moved me. I love the sexy curves of the Strat but there's something about the utter simplicity of a Tele that I've always lusted after. Well, I finally joined the club! I just picked up this slightly tattered 1992 MIM Tele today, and man she plays and sounds fantastic! Neck has a really great, played-in feel to it. The sunburst finish is super-deep, and being 20 years old this guitar has some real mojo starting to show on the body and neck.

Here's some pics, since I know this post is worthless without 'em:

Welcome to the club :D

Is that a crack in the finish right across the front?

You might want to lower those pickups a little.

Congrats!

Yeah, I saw this guitar deep-discounted at Music-Go-Round, the price tag said "has blemish on finish"... haha. That doesn't bother at all.... It's actually a good example of how a polyester-finished guitar will "relic" after twenty years of hard use, so for all those out there taking sandpaper to your poly-finished guitar (d'oh), take note! Between this and my beat-to-crap Olympic White '89 MIA Strat, I've been on a roll finding "worn-in" but great-playing Fenders at great prices.

Yes, I took these pics right after I got home, and then proceeded to lower them via the "nickel" method. Works like a charm. Man am I HOOKED on the Tele sound. There's just nothing on my Strats that will come close to how chunky this thing sounds playing early Zep stuff on a crunched-out tube amp. It's a totally different thing.
