Hi guys, as I'm suffering major gas at the mo, I'm trying to decide which tele I should get. Either this
or
Doing a point by point comparison and from the feedback by the board -
1) The CIJ is better crafted (with just a change of pots and electronics maybe)
2) Better wood (possibly)
3) Better resale
but
a) Will probably change the pickups
b) Slightly more expensive (in terms of the NZ dollar)
c) I'm buying it over the net
d) Thicker neck (I've got small hands)
With the MIK Lite ash Tele
1) Has abalone dots & Birdseye maple neck (Am I the only one who likes that?)
2) NZ $100 cheaper
3) Stock SDs
4) A friend in America can play it and pick out a nice one
but
a) Thicker finish
b) Less resale being MIK
c) Probably cheaper hardware (tuners, bridge, etc)
What's the move? Help me out!
