So, I am starting to play more country music and I need a beast of a tele. I have $2,000 to spend and I'm after a daphne blue with a maple neck and (here's where it gets complicated) a neck humbucker with single coil in the bridge.


Any thoughts?

i think you'll have more luck putting a SC size humbucker in a std tele layout. should make it easier to find the colour combo you want if youre happy to swap the pickup out. i just had a look at the current catalogue, i cant see any daphne blue teles.

Daphne blue is going to be very hard to find.

I don't believe that Fender has done any reissues in this color - maybe just a few one-offs from the Custom Shop.

I'm not sure how Highway 1s are routed but you might be able to find an early one in Sonic Blue and add the neck humbucker. I know Anerican Series and American Standards are already routed for a neck humbucker so the H1s may be routed that way as well.
