After dreaming of owning a Telecaster for 30 years the UPS guy Has Delivered!.

Now, I wait for my baby to acclimate to room temperature.

Be careful chipping the outer layer of ice from around the pups.

You could snag a wire.

And I thought UPS was slow up here in Vermont!

Wow, this thing is awesome! I could not be happier. Fit and finish is superb. I love the neck shape and the set up is just right for me. I ordered the Vintage "52" thin skin. I almost ordered a Custom Shop Telecaster but decided to spend the extra money on a nice amp. I plan on ordering a Swart amp next week.

Thanks to everyone for all the advice and answering all my dumb questions.
I have learned a lot in the last couple months reading the TDPRI.

I will try to post a few picks. It seems to be a requirement around here

Thanks Again,
Steve

Man, I thought I was bad... only took me 10 years of shopping, to find one I liked!

Fantastic!!!

I'm really pleased for you and hope that you are still this excited when you pick it up to play 20 years from now.

Now all you've got to do is spend the next 30 years deciding which amp to buy.
