I really like the sounds you can get out of these Teles.

I played one RI (MIJ) side by side with buddy's '78 (he has 2!) and it didn't sound as good. It sounded "thin" if that makes sense. Maybe you should look around your local shops and see if you can find one from the '70's for around the same amount of money.

About a year ago I picked up a black '78 (with rosewood neck) on a reserve not met ebay auction. I got it in a private sale for $850......Fish
