Congrats! You've won on so many levels. You and your son have a once in a lifetime story few people will be able to top. You won a CS guitar. You also won a lifetime of tales to tell while you are showing off your new guitar. This is already the best story I've heard in a long time. Congrats indeed

Holy effing crap!! You may soon be the owner of the ultimate Telecaster. Make sure you buy your son a car for his 16th and don't you dare show up on here in a couple of months asking about mods! ;). Congrats, you are one lucky dude in more ways than one.

wow - That is a dream come true for me. I can't imagine the state of euphoria knowing you're going to have not only a CS tele, but one that you had you hand held all the through by Fender like rocknroll royalty.

That is so cool I doubt I'd even list it on my "things to do before I die" list because it's so far out into fantasy.

I'm happy for you and your Son and you are really lucky!

Just plain cool! That guitar has such a cool story. I live 20 minutes from Fender and I have never been on a tour (I will look into it though).
