dbrian66 Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 I got this guitar a couple of weeks ago. I have been wanting a Tele for awhile, just because I didn't have one. I found this one on Craigslist for $315.00 and pulled the trigger. It is amazing how "country" this guitar sounds. Can't help but play it in that style. :-) I am really impressed overall by this guitar. At this price point, its put together real nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmokeyGhost Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 A house is not a Home without a Tele. Play it long time in good health! rct Nice Tele! Have lots of fun with her. True, rct. While it may not be top of the line, I am very happy with my Squire CV 50's Tele. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btoth76 Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Congratulations! Yes. A Tele is a must-have for everyone. Bence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pin Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Nice Tele without a doubt. But I am without a Tele! One day this will be rectified! Nothing wrong with MIM stuff either. My Roland strat is MIM and that is fine and the more so since I replaced the standard pickups and put Kinman "woodstock" pickups in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excuse me for derailing the thread. The MIA Roland Strat now sells 50% cheaper here.

Pinch Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Good lord - three hundred bucks for a MIM AND a case? (A MIM tele over here is a grand, without as much as a gig bag. I gotta get out of Sweden...) Good deal. Happy playing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gotta get out of Sweden...) Good deal. Happy playing! Just the guitar. The case was mine already. Still a pretty good deal though I think. Most of the ones I see are going for closer to $400.00.

Karloff Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Nice ! I've always wanted a Tele. don't know why I've never had one. I've always loved Roy Buchanan's tone. and the MIM doesn't bother me at all. my favorite beer is MIM ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pippy Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Many congrats on the very nice guitar and great deal! I happen to prefer the feel of MIM Strats over the USA-line ones (at least I did when I was out on the hunt) and, perhaps unbelievably, my Squier Tele plays nicer (just my opinion) than did my early '80's double-bound '60s Tele Custom R-I. Pick Away! Pip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbrian66 Posted April 19, 2016 Author Share Posted April 19, 2016 Thanks for all the comments guys. I tend to be a set neck, two humbucker, mahogany body guitar guy myself. But in the past year or so I have got this one and a P-90 guitar. I guess I am broadening my horizons! :). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quapman Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Not an ounce of shame in the MIM stuff. Atsa nice tele dbrian. I was pickin my kid up some hotrods the other day and left a sweet sweet MIM strat hanging on the wall. It played so damn nice. I wouldn't even touch the set up. It was ready to go. I still may go back for it,, if I can just sneak it in the house. perhaps unbelievably, my Squier Tele plays nicer (just my opinion) than did my early '80's double-bound '60s Tele Dude, I have a pawn shop Squire strat I absolutely love how it plays. Best 80 bucks I ever spent. and the MIM doesn't bother me at all. my favorite beer is MIM ... That's because there is no good beer made down there. lol,,, I kid,, I kid. But your post did make me lol. Thanks for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Zeplin Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Congrats on the Tele. I had wanted one for quite some time but couldn't find the one. Then I came across this MiM from 2004 in great shape, the right price and in the colour I wanted...black. I put a black pickguard (mint green didn't look right to me) and vintage style three saddle bridge on it. Maple 21 fret necks are a must for a Tele.
