I played one of those at GC and imediatly tried to figure out what I could sell to buy it. It played like a dream and that finish and binding made that guitar look like a super model hanging around a bunch dogs. Yes Essex boy got my GAS meter pushing candy red just like you, now what can I sell to buy one of those? The Bigsby equiped model was almost as nice as well.
Off topic a bit here, but the Bigsby and non Bigsby they had at GC as well as a few other nice Tele's that were there at the time were gone in like a week. All of those were set up so you could play them comfotably. (no fret buzz or other simple fixes) Most every other Tele would buzz and generaly be unenjoyable. Do they just unpack them and put them out or do they just set up the more expensive stuff? Mabey just coincidence? Sorry about the rant
