Sorry for the horrible pics, the crappy old iphone is all I have available at the time, my wife hid the camera somewhere and I can't find it.
I have been looking at Tele's for a while after a hiatus from gear collecting. I have always wanted a Butterscotch Blonde '52 and when I played this guitar, I was done, she had to be mine. It is a Fender FSR Butterscotch Standard Telecaster, yes it is MiM. Now, normally I am a made in USA snob, this guitar however gives me pause to open my yap less and play more. Not only is it exceptional sounding and playing... it has a 1 piece Ash body that is just gorgeous, I know the figuring doesn't show through on the crappy pics but hopefully it will later with the good camera (better pics to come). This guitar should BE the standard Tele that the Mex. factory is making. It plays great, feels great, looks great and sounds great. Going to get some callaham saddles or GFS six saddle bridge but besides that it is great. The stock pickups sound fantastic....
I had not even heard of this guitar until I saw it in the store and started doing research on the spot (thank God for 3G service). If you are a Tele fan and you have a chance at one of these guitars, grab them while they last. I am seriously impressed.
