Greetings from Finland, from a brand new Telecaster owner. I've been messing around with hollow body Gretsches and such for years, but never ever had a Telecaster before this. I'm not much of a player, but so what. It is fun anyway.
It's a bit of a coincidence that I came to try a friend's tele a few weeks ago, but it was such a nice player that I wanted to have one of my own. I'm not dead sure, but pretty certain that I hadn't even tried a Tele before that, believe it or not. I guess you're never too old to learn new things?
I've had a couple of hobby bands in the past and have been running a third one for a year or so. Rockabilly and such is what I like to play and sing, write my own original songs occasionally, too.
Here's a picture of my two current electric guitars: a MIJ '03 Gretsch G6120W-1957 'unofficial Eddie Cochran' model and a MIM '22 Fender Player Telecaster in Butterscotch Blonde. The Tele will be an even more unofficial Paul Burlison model then
. There's my 'bedroom' tweed amp in the picture too, it's a 5 watt Fender 5FA2 Princeton clone from a small Finnish manufacturer. The other amp I've got is a 14 watt 5E3 Tweed Deluxe clone and they both come with a 12" speaker.
So glad to have this brand new guitar, glad to be here, too. Hope to learn all technical stuff about Teles at least. Some may recognize me from Gretsch-Talk, to the others I'm new. Howdy to everyone!
