If you don't necessarly want to buy a new guitar, check out the Tele Plus Deluxe or Tele Plus. The tonal options are amazing, you get everything from that rich les paul sound from the neck pickup (red lace sensor) and the bridge still has that twang that we all love(stacked blue lace sensor's). The lace sensors also lend themselves particularly well to distortion in comparison to other stock tele's i have had in the past.

I really like the new american standard tele. For the price I think it's a great guitar. Good Luck. 8)

I think you really have to get out and play several of them to see what feels and sounds the best to you. There are so many variables in the different models available these days.

I went out and played just about every Tele I could get my hands on, new & used. I kept coming back to the new American Standard, which I bought. It was absolutely perfect directly out of the box.

I agree that you should play as many guitars as possible before buying, but I highly recommend, making a specific point of playing the new American Standard.

Pics of my Tele are on the "pics of your tele" thread. :D
