Hello fellow Tele lovers,

I am from the Netherlands and bought my first Telecaster last week. It's a 52 custom shop Journeyman relic.
Right now the guitar is at my tech for a setup.

I am a long time Les Paul player, but I wanted a Fender for a long time.
I first thought I wanted a strat. I tried around 10 custom shop strats, but with none of them it was love at first sight.

Then last week, this used custom shop Tele came up for sale, and I gave it a shot.
I had an instant connection with the guitar. It is very resonant and sounds amazing. Also the relic look is great, although I was not specifically looking for a relic.

I will play it through a cranked Marshall Lead & Bass 20W with a 2*12 with Celestion heritage 20W greenbacks.
I use only a Throbak Strange Master (treble boost), which is always on.

I play in a southern rock band (Skynyrd, Allman Brothers, ZZ Top).

The best for you all and I look forward to read all the great posts on this forum.

Jascha

You’re not a man of wealth and taste, by any chance, are you?

More than a few of us played southern rock when it was "new" - Welcome!

Hallo Jascha - er zijn veel TDPRI-leden in Nederland. Vroeger hadden we elk jaar jamsessies - vóór COVID. In welk deel van het land woon je? Ik ben in Bussum. Het geeft me plezier je hier te zien.

Welcome. And pics?

Welcome! How well does southern rock go over in the Netherlands? As stated above most on this forum were around when it hit the first time. A tele is a wonderful rock axe. Pure attitude. Rude and jagged around the edges.

Hallo, leuk om te horen. Ik woon in Bennekom, bij Wageningen. In het midden van het land. Leuk idee zo'n jam sessie!
Groeten, Jascha
