Can do.

Jellecaster · March 5th, 2008, 06:41 PM

One of the best guitars in my over-crowded stable!

AjayTele · March 5th, 2008, 07:37 PM

Oh bugger. Now you have me Gassing for a Crimson one as well...

Jellecaster · March 5th, 2008, 07:41 PM

Yeah, well... I want a natural!!!! The Tele is always twangier on the other side of the fence.

AjayTele · March 5th, 2008, 07:42 PM

We'll have to see who cracks under the GAS pressure first...

In the past I would have said it would be me, but I'm really trying to turn over a new leaf and sell most of my collection. It will pain me to do so, but this has just gotten out of control! I need to spend more time playing and less time collecting.

AjayTele · March 6th, 2008, 04:18 PM

Dang! It's me.

Ordered a Crimson Transparent Ash Tele today.

Here's something interesting though...won't get it until June, it's on backorder. They must be popular...

Are the teles pictured two or three piece bodies? I have seen three ash bodies in person. I found 1ea natural w/ maple - 3 piece, and 2ea natural w/rosewood - 2 piece.

Just curious if the trend will go one way or the other.

Please advise, thanks,

My natural is a 2 piece body and the join is still quite hard to see.

boris bubbanov · March 6th, 2008, 08:14 PM

Every one I've seen in clear or red trans has been center join 2 piece.

If you buy this model, these are the ones you want. For now, who knows how many really choice bodies Fender can find like this.

Oh man, those two guitars are really beginning to push my buttons. I need an '08 - I bought a 2-tone but sold it to a friend who begged and pleaded. I need another - I'm thinking natural!

Yeah..... I got this the other day....

If ya'll sell stuff now, you'll just be buying more in the future.

Just play the ones you have night and day; things will work out fine.

Yep, I've spotted still more AS Ash center join Teles; mostly very light in weight and not badly made.
