Hey everyone!

Long time Strat player, member of Strat-Talk.com forums for quite a while. Got my first Telecaster today and am super-pleased! It's a MIM Standard. Great condition, although it looks as if someone has buried their fingers into a few too many G, D, and Em chords! I've already ordered Tonerider Hot Classics pickups and am debating whether or not to go a Surf Green + Nitro finish on this beast. Glad to join the family, and I look forward to learning all about this beautiful (but much heavier) guitar!

Welcome!

Fortunately, most Teles are no heavier than Strats but if you want to shed pounds, try a pawlonia wood body. A cheap way to get one is to buy a GFS body which may talke a few tweaks to fit.
