Great Discussion Forum Thanks for the Advice

I just wanted to say thanks to all of you folks for all your advice. I am a new member here and glad I found this website. I have always loved the looks of the Telecasters and told myself some day I would own one. I really couldn't afford a new guitar but after reading your forums about the Squire Telecasters and what they cost that was all it took. I just ordered a new MII Standard from Elderly Instruments and can't wait for it to arrive. I look forward to reading about the different mods for my new guitar

Thanks again,
Rich

Elderly does care about their reputation; I'm confident they'll find you a good one.
When you get it, just play the jeebs out of it for as many weeks (months?) as you can stand before you start hopping it up. Establish that baseline.

Remember that when you have it all modded and just so, then you got to go out and get another. Make each one count.

Welcome to the game.

Boris, thanks for the advice. I plan to take my time with the mods.
Can anyone tell me what type of wood is Agathis? Is it any good?
