Good morning. My name is Dan, living in SE Wisconsin. I am primarily an acoustic musician, playing guitar, banjo and mandolin primarily in the bluegrass and folk genres, though I like all kinds of music. I just got back into electric guitar about a year and a half ago. I don't want to bore you with the details, but I started taking electric guitar lessons about a year and a half ago as I needed guidance as teaching myself the proper technique, I was struggling as I wanted to go back to acoustic style. When I started taking lessons, I purchased a Squier 40th anniversary telecaster. I though that would best suit me as I wanted to play 50's and 60's music. Well, me and that guitar never connected, and I sold it to buy a Fender strat. That guitar got me going, and I now own two strats and a shredder for metal.

Anyhow, all that aside, I have the telecaster bug again. One of my strats is a Logan (my avatar), and I love that guitar. In fact, Bob Logan is the one who recommended this site to me. I was looking at another Logan that he is selling cheap, but I can't get past the color. So, I am looking at buying a telecaster, or better yet, building one, from parts (though maybe build the body from scratch). So, I wanted to join this forum to learn from you all what would work for me, but also hope to join in once I get my feet wet on telecaster again.

Thanks for reading,
Dan

Welcome. Strats have a strong appeal to many here at TDPRI. There should be a lot of helpful information available.

Nice! Welcome Dan! I grew up in the next town over from Bob Logan and still hold SE WI close to my heart. I got the pleasure of going to his house to purchase an Esquire years ago. Great experience.

Welcome abord, I just got back from Wisconsin last night, visiting my son. with all the guitar players on this sight from all over the world, I think we should all unite, and take it over with one big jam session.
