January 15th last year the Hwy 1 Tele in my avatar was ripped off and after the insurance company settled I bought a Baja Tele believing the Baja series to be the replacement for the Hwy 1 Tele. For some reason or some combination of reasons I couldn't bond with the Baja and finally sold it to a coworker this past Wednesday. So I went to a local family owned music store to find a Genz-Benz acoustic amp and found this guitar instead. I really kind of fell in love with the color before I ever took it off the rack and when I tried it out I was surprised by the sustain ... really incredible sustain. It is a barely preowned 2013 MIM Special Edition Telecaster. The price was right and the neck and body are good so I bought it to rebuild.
I prefer three saddle bridges on a Tele for that distinct Tele charang sound, but this time I'm going to install Graph Tech Ghost saddles with the preamp and blend switch and so on. Also, I will have a bone nut installed and will replace both pickups. The existing pups are ... uninspiring. I haven't decided, but am considering either a Duncan vintage P-90 in the neck or a Lollar gold foil. For the bridge ... I dunno.
