Topic: Yes Another new guitar!!

Call me crazy but this guitar was calling out to me begging me to give it shelter and being the big hearted fool I am I bought it! smile
It is a Modern Player Fender Telecaster three pickups mini toggle and a 5 way switch for split tones and I love the finish and design.

Very cool, Russell. I don't recall ever seeing a Tele with a coil-splittable humbucker at the bridge ... interesting configuration. I just love black transparent finish!

Re: Yes Another new guitar!!

Russell, Glad to see you are such a caring and giving person. Not many people can see the need to give these homeless instruments a good home. All they want to do is give joy and happiness to their human friends.  ROCK ON DUDE!!!!!!!

TF It is a relatively new concept they have been around for a while but I didn't see one till a few weeks ago I think it combines the attributes of a Strat and a Tele in one guitar but my Les Paul has no need to worry about gathering dust I can find time for both. I agree with the beauty of the black transparent finish it sets it off nicely smile

Re: Yes Another new guitar!!

I d like  to  hear the  bridge pickup  I've  thought  about putting   splitable  hum buckers on my  Black top  tele  to  get  that  single  coil tone .

Re: Yes Another new guitar!!

I like that they do not have that anoying ashtray on there.  I loved my blond Tele except for that stupid plate they have on all of them, kept getting in the way of my right hand.  I just saw a Dean tele typewith humbuckers and a single at a pawn shop,, but they want way to much for it and the  2 Epiphone LP 100's.
I could buy a new one less than they were asking, and they had missing knobs, or wrong hardware,, sheesh waht do they think, no one can look stuff up on the spot?

Very nice indeed! Happy NGD.

I have finally found happiness in my life.  Guitars, singing, beer and camping.  And they all intertwine wonderfully.

beamer your right about over priced guitars in pawn shops years ago that's where the bargains were until the owners started looking up the prices and now they ask retail prices or more because they think they have a classic

Russell
Congrats !

I am going to look at   a Jay Turser Hollowbody today  JT 136      I am getting it for $110 through a private sale - guy says he has too many guitars ( go figure!) smile   I am hoping it is as in good shape  as the seller has said - if so I think its a good deal .   

Any chordians play this and know it ?

I also agree  with Beamer about the strats with the ashtray look. I was going to buy one until i ran into that look and said nope !
Any way - very nice guitar - happy New Year
