heymisterk Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Pulled the trigger. Needed a single-coil in my arsenal beyond my beloved P-90s. Ebay, $300, a 2005: I am very impressed with build quality. Does the twang thang, but can rock out too! The brige PU is fairly hot Ole! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heymisterk Posted November 27, 2010 Author Share Posted November 27, 2010 I admit that I don't know much about Teles and did not have the cash to spend on a USA-made one. But to a novice like me, this thing sounds great. People talk about how Teles are great for twang and the like, but they forget Keith Richards, Rich Robinson, and early Jimmy Page all played one! I wanted that "Stones" and "Black Crowes" warmth of tone, and this does it. I have been playing "Monkey Man" non-stop! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookieman15061 Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Looks like the famous Thundergod telecaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrNylon Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Congrats on the Tele. I'd go for a Tele over any other Fender myself. Like the maple fretboard as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad1 Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Congratulations! Great looking guitar. I'm partial to blue as well. Everyone should have at least one Tele. Have fun twanging out. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heymisterk Posted November 27, 2010 Author Share Posted November 27, 2010 Your Tele looks great...I love them too I've got a Texan B-Bender and a Mexican Esquire Great guitars and a tribute to Leo's original genius V When I started my Tele search, I wanted to buy a G&L but I just couldn't afford it; was actually more expensive than the U.S. Fender Teles. I actually found some nice Hamer-made Teles that were slightly cheaper. But honestly, I wanted to guitar that I could rest on the couch, lean up against the wall, and generally have around when the mood struck me, and this guitar did the trick. With my Les Paul and even my SG Classic, I am always worried about doing stuff like that. This is perfect for that. Mu Bueno! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cookieman15061 Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Its not a 2005 with that serial number. Your guitar was made at the Ensenada Plant (Fender), Mexico in the Year(s): 2000 - 2001 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your guitar was made at the Ensenada Plant (Fender), Mexico in the Year(s): 2000 - 2001 Indeed it is...just a typo on my part. It was $345 with shipping but no gigbag...which is excellent b/c I have a good gigbag lying around gathering dust. Thanks to all for the compliments. Got it tuned to open G and am having fun!

heymisterk Posted November 27, 2010 Author Share Posted November 27, 2010 Clearly a Holier-Than-Thou take on the Mexican production line, but pretty cool nonetheless... http://reviews.photoweborama.com/allthingsguitar1/fendertour/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
