Re: If you want to get into a Tele cheap may I suggest......
i went to check on that 60's Vibe Squier strat today... no bag included... still they did a great job on it... i'm sure the teles must be great too... this strat has an amazing fret job on it for a Squier... i still can't get passed how great the neck feels..
i walked out before i bought it....
the alder body is well done... if they used Veneer on the top and back i can't see it... they didn't hide the tummy cut with black paint on this sunburst... if i do turn around and buy it i have some trems in the basement that would be an improvement over the stock trem... but even with the stock trem it was not going out of tune with bar use today!!!!

You know you want it.. Go back tommorrow and do us proud!!
Yeah, I hate to sound like a fanboy weenie, but epi and squier have turned things up a notch lately.
When guitar world did a review of the vintage moderns they reviewed them favorably. Only negative was the tuning keys. Ive not had any issues with mine..

I want one of those vintage modified SSH ones, even though I already own a tele (MIM). I love teles, and hope to get a few more in the future.

Re: If you want to get into a Tele cheap may I suggest......
That looks pretty cool, I like the idea, cool throwback at cheap bucks, and if you get a good Squier, and change the electronics, you have something worthy of the little Fender under the Squier logo. Although I find some of the Squiers with the Duncan Designed pickups sound pretty good as they are, maybe a pot change, but good pickups.
Notice though that a MIM is only $50-$100 more?

Re: If you want to get into a Tele cheap may I suggest......
I dont have pics yet.....the camera was dead with no spare batteries.(I will buy some today and get those stinking pics!) I was plucking around last night while surfing the web on and off and decided to open iMovie and hit record. I just played the same thing over and over so you'd get an idea of what the guitar sounds like plugged directly into the Lux.
Yeah..I suck! So what!

Man, I'd like to hear it side-by-side with an expensive Tele. IMO, it sounds really nice.

Heh, sounds like me; although I have kept my Morse for almost a year. I have been prohibited from selling it.

pine body? are u freakin kidding me..... I always wondered what a 2X4 with strings sounded like
edit:
DISCLAIMER
No disrespect or ill will intended to the original poster or to anyone who thinks Teles are cool, I never did understand their appeal, they do indeed sound twangy if your into that sort of thing.
I have seen some hobbiests build guitar bodies from pine and never heard the result.Im suprised to see that squire used pine in produtction, but hey they use plywood also...hmm then again I had a Mahogany laminate(plywood) rich bich copy guitar that i played in a garage band for 2 years, it looked incredible and sounded OK .....so i was gonna say atleast it aint plywood, but ply would sound warmer and teles sound well...twangy and plunky so....hmmm what was my point? oh yeh...
Pine body? (attached to a $300 price tag) are u freakin kidding me????

You have no idea how happy you have made me.. I have been looking for a decent tele and I dont have a huge budget.

Re: If you want to get into a Tele cheap may I suggest......
I never cared for the look of them or desired to have the twang either. But Ive seen some bands using them and seen these guys play all styles on them. and then there is the tele tone. You cant get it with anything else.
I never wanted one, but thought I should have that tone in my arsenal ( IMO you need a:tele, strat, LP and something with a floyd to cover all bases)
Then once I got it, I found out its a blast to play. And since I swapped the pups, the neck position blues tone is the second fave in my aresenal.
Maybe itll never be your thing, and I dont forsee that the tele will ever be my number 1, but I have a blast with mine.
