Re: I Want a Telecaster

I'm going to bump this thread as I'm looking at at buying a Tele myself, I've even got full backing from the wife smile

Question is, who makes a good Tele?  I know that Fender and G&L ( dearly like one of their lineup ) produce some good kit, but are there any other makes out there that do the business?

Cheers

Re: I Want a Telecaster

just get it. 

It's a Tele...it justifies itself.

Now I work down at the car wash where all it ever does is rain.

'99 Gibson Les Paul Special DC, '99 Epiphone Dot, '06 Norman B50, '03 Yamaha FG-433S, Fender Performer 650

Re: I Want a Telecaster

as i've said before, i have a tele but i always thought it was a very raunchy/rocky-rolly guitar that is one heck of an all-rounder....i guess it does country too.

buy and be damned!

I don't need convincing smile

I was looking mainly at a G&L ASAT classic, just wondered if there were any other decent makes?

I have a G&L ASAT and just love it! Mine has the chunky neck that I like, but I have big hands. I also have an Fender American Telecaster that's been hotrodded a bit and also has a Bigby Tremelo unit installed.

The Japanese Tokai's are particularly good and reasonably priced, and while I've never tried one Fenix guitars made by Korean masterbuilder Young Chang are supposed to be superb.
