Hey people... just wanted to show everyone the new Tele i got today. I first noticed it when i walked into our new Guitar Center last week. So shortly after that my auction ended for my Hwy. 1 Strat that i wanted to sell, so with the money i scored this babe, bought a really nice case from MF, and still had around $65 bucks left over!

She's a brand new 2006 Fender MiM Telecaster with the new Chrome Red finish. Has a tad of a fatter feeling neck than my '03 MiM Tele... and although the pickups on the two have a similar tone, this new one really pushes my Blues Junior into the dirty zone alot more. :)

Very bold, and very snappy.... but it still has that little bit of a thin quality that a tele should have. And like i mentioned earlier, i like the pickups in this '06 model a little more than the ones in my '03 model because with the '06 i can get some real OD out of my amp now without a pedal. With the '03, all the tone and output was there, it just don't push the amp enough to get that OD to come out like this one does. Very sweet!!

That's a great color for a tele. A mint green or aged white guard would set it off.
 
Re: Tele lovers....I got me a new one today!

i want one just like that..... same colour and all.... the new frets in those has me sold that i need a new MIM Tele....
 
Re: Tele lovers....I got me a new one today!

Since i got my Hwy. 1 Strat (that i sold to get this one) and after playing this one.... i'm really a fan of the bigger frets now. They do seem to help things out a bit.

I've been a/b'ing between 2 MIM Strats tonight, one is from 1999, and a new 06.. the larger frets and new neck shape feel wonderful.... I love my 99 MIM Tele... it is a magicly piece of wood, I got lucky... I hope i can find a new Tele just as nice but with larger frets...

My 1999 MIM Tele standard has stock electronics but has a new Gotoh modern bridge. The past owner had a 3 barrel that i did not like. I wonder if changing a new 06's bridge to a Gotoh heavy modern bridge would make any tone differences over the stock modern bridge Fender uses...

I've been wanting to do that lately anyway, but i'm not sure how to go about it.... anyone have any basic tips that i can use to get started??

However i get it done, it will have to be with something that comes with Windows XP.... I don't have any kind of recording software yet.
