Nice looking Tele. I just got my first Tele a few weeks ago. I usually play a Firebird. But the Tele gives me more sound options. I love the Tele. be sure and put a pencil mark in your nut slots so it will stay in tune after bending the strings. That goes for all guitars, not just Teles. I learned that trick last week.

Grats on the tele! When I got one I instantly fell in love with the SD in the neck. So many great tones and an overall great guitar. You will be happy for many years to come with that axe!

For years I was a Les Paul only man because Fenders were supposed to suck or so I was told. Then I discovered the tonal goodness of a Stratocaster a few years back. I had some spare gear and wanted to try something totally new to me, and ended up trading into a tele and have found that it may be one of the most versatile guitars I have ever owned. I wished I had learned not to listen to other people years ago!

Some would say that you don't find guitars, they find you. When I found mine, a Telecaster was the last guitar I would even think about buying. Just for grins I gave it a spin and I was hooked big time. Now it just makes me very happy everytime I pick it up. i have other guitars and they all have things I like about them but 9 out of 10 times, it's the Telecaster I grab.
