I chose the title given that my '82 Bullet S-3 neck is truly a '81 Telecaster neck with a different decal on it. The S-3 has had a Vintage Stack Tele neck pickup in it since the late 90's. Also I have a '72 Telecaster Deluxe replacement neck on my mutt Lead II. I love the necks on both these guitars.
All of these recent Telecaster topics, with these fantastic finishes pushed me over the edge. I was going to try and hold out until Fender ran a 0% interest for 36 months with Sweetwater, but the first time I took a serious look at the offerings, I found the brother from another mother of the Ibanez RG421 UnderTheFlame83 alerted me to last year. A brief side note that all of this could have been avoided if Eddie (from a different forum) would have sold me the Skittles-caster, but if I owned it I probably would not have sold it either.
Anyhow, it did ship today and should arrive tomorrow. As cold as it is here in Cowtown, I will likely let it sit for a 48 hour warm up before opening it. I think it is a cool finish, but am not sure how it would look in Firecrackle.
So here are a few of store pics in the interim. I will get some of my usual low quality cell phone pics of this and the RG posted once the Tele is unboxed. As for any formal review, I do not know F-anything about Telecasters, but if you do, and you have some suggestions, I will give it a go.
