I sold my Gretsch Projet on Saturday night as it never got played and I didn't really bond with it.

So, with the proceeds from the sale I bought this beautiful Guitar from a guy on an online trading site here in Ireland.

I'd been looking for the right Tele for a while now. It's a 2006 Japanese Fender Telecaster Custom 62 Re-issue. I picked it up for €550 so I think I got a great deal. It's in a beautiful three colour sunburst with a double bound body and rosewood board. I just need to get a nice tweed case for it. :)

Better pictures to follow.....

It's great. :)

I changed out the bridge for a Mustang bridge and now it's restrung with 10s instead of 12s. I also bought a StayTrem trem arm which is the same one that Johnny Marr helped develop and has on his signature Jaguar.

I left the Tele in this morning to have the pots and capacitors upgraded as well as a full setup including raising the neck pickup which is a bit low.

When you post more photos of the Tele could you sneak in a few of the Jazzmaster as well? I'd like to see what the StayTrem arm looks like on your guitar.

Thanks,

Now that is a sweet looking guitar! I had one of these MIJ 62 Tele's and it was a very sweet sounding one. These are great guitars, and I regret trading it for a 72 Super Reverb amp, but it was too a good a deal to pass up.

Enjoy the new Tele and the JM looks pretty sweet too!
