My New Tele - 60s Reissue with Bigsby

Billy Hell · June 5th, 2008, 08:54 AM

I have been all over the forums and haven't read very much about the Japanese 60s reissue Telecaster with Bigsby. This was in my local music store and just kept calling out to me. I finally broke down and brought her home. This is a solid git with all the tone you would expect and the Bigsby is flawless. I also have to admit I love the way it looks.

Also pictured is a Telestar amp I bought years ago. I have a 72 Music Man 212 HD and a Micro Cube for messing around. I pulled out the Telestar for the first time in 15 years and this thing growls! Very round, fat meaty tones. The kind of sound that makes you go, "WOW!"

Bummer......no pic! Sounds like a nice guitar though......the MIJ Reissues are very good. Totally true to the specs of the real thing.

The red paint has small metallic flakes in it.
