After searching for a long time for a Tele I really liked I finally found this one today. She has some road scars and has clearly been around the block a few times, but as Eric Clapton once said "That just means it has been favored."

Anyway no pics, it didn't happen right...

Congrats on your new purchase!!

After the new wears off you may want to look into upgrading the bridge with one of these. The brass saddles will give a more traditional look and tone and the compensated part takes away the downside of the three saddle bridge; compromised intonation. They don't guarantee you can achieve perfect intonation* but they're better than straight saddles. If you like you can still keep the Fender plate and just use the saddles.

* perfect intonation is a relative term and many people will (quite rightly) argue that no fretted instrument can ever achieve perfect intonation, except maybe a Dingwall.

Nice, any Tele is a good Tele in my book! I'd like to try a rosewood neck someday, if it's anything like my Strat it will be very nice!
