Mus Frnd blowout: Tele Aerodyne

Colo Springs E · December 7th, 2006, 10:00 PM

Pretty good price, if you're lookin' for one of these:

Tele Aerodyne, $480 shipped

Not a blem.

BUy one, they are great sounding and playing guitars. I'm going to get one after the holiday season ends.

They are pretty cool but the neck is a little thin, that's the main thing that I didn't like, also the bridge pu was weak, so as with a lot of guitars, it might take some tweaking to get it where you want it, they look killer IMO, and the neck P90 is great.

I'd LOVE one of those! Too bad MF won't ship out of the USA. =(

I just want to say it's cool of TDPRI'ers to point out sales like these. I got my Tele that way and more recently, a Squier 51.

That's real tempting. I've always thought the Aerodyne looked cool, never played one though.

My oh my you lucky Americans !!
I've coveted one of these for years....the UK price is about the same in pounds as you're paying in dollars....if you hunt around maybe a tad cheaper, ( like at Peter Cooks UK fans), but one I saw recently at a small unfriendly local ripoff shop ( " no we don't refund on this crap untouched item we only give credit notes.." ) was over £600 !!!!! I haven't got current conversion rates to hand but that's about twice the MF price ??!

There are many things I love about the UK, but the gear prices are not one of them...
