Hello guitar lovers,

I'm 23, live in the U.K. and have been playing for 15 years. My occupation for the last 18 months has been a guitar salesman. Luckily we're a Fender dealer and hence I get to play and try hundreds of beautiful guitars.
Recent Fender purchases include a Classic Vibe Tele (an excellent value for money guitar, as you well know), a Classic Player Strat (likewise), a Highway One Tele (in Honey Blonde), a MIM Precision, a Blues Junior and a Champ 600.
Amongst many others, some favourite Tele players include James Burton, Clarence White and Scotty Anderson.
I've found this site very useful for a while now and decided to register.

Bests,

Alex

Thank you for the warm welcomes. I live in the county of Essex. I don't currently own a camera, sorry. I'll borrow one from a friend as I'd love to take pictures of my guitars, especially the more rare and worn ones :grin:
I'll have to check the serial on my C.V. Tele and add it to the owner's club when I'm home from work. It may be an early one as I chose from a few the Fender rep brought down to the store about a month before they were for sale. The intonation was already dead on and the action to my taste. All I did was adjust the pickup height at the bridge for a more even volume balance.

Bests,

Alex
