Hello cowboys and cowgals.

My next guitar may well be a Fender Tele. I ended up buying a dirt cheap used BaCH Tele from a colleague of mine a couple of months ago because...well, it was cheap dammit! :) Never thought I'd cheat on my SGs and my Strat but lately I've been playing the BaCH Tele a lot. While it's great bang for the buck the electronics, pups and frets are not top notch. The frets will probably wear down fast and their tiny vintage profile is less than comfortable. And, of course, a real Fender Tele would be nice.

What I think I want is an all-single coil Tele with medium output pups that sound good with medium to heavy overdrive/fuzz *and* with bluesy amp breakup. I've had my eye on a very beautiful 2CS Baja Telecaster with a black pickguard lately and since I'm not a Fender Tele player yet I might need some advice from more experienced Tele guys on what to look for. Think of a Tele that doesn't stray too far away from the classic Tele sounds and you're probably in the right department.

I'm not interested in noiseless pickups or humbuckers when it comes to Telecasters. Medium jumbo or jumbo frets preferrably. No fancy-ass flame tops needed, but who doesn't love a sunburst? I'll be using my tube amps for overdrive with some germanium or silicon fuzz and a wah thrown in for leads.

I appreciate all the help I can get 8)
