Telecasterlessness

letsgocoyote · May 5th, 2008, 02:49 AM

I have been telecasterless for far too long, for varying circumstances

right now i have a squier bullet... with a 84 mij tele neck pickup in it that i got out of a friends gutiar and repotted (or tried too). sweet warm tones

but i digress

i need a telecaster as soon as it can be afforded!

squier affinity? rondo sx?
mim?
thin skin?

I'd skip the Affinity. Go for the Vintage Modified or Standard. Or any of the Mex stuff is terrific.

If I hadn't recently bought a guitar, I would import this one:
