Which Tele For Me???

[Butch Snyder]

Hey guys,

Since I have a definite list of Teles I could go with, I decided to delete my previous thread Teles, Teles, Teles, & more Teles...

I thought I'd just make it a poll. Please vote and explain your vote of you would. Also, if you can think of another model, please list it.

Cheers,

I'm not sure what you're asking. But the '50s Classic series has good traditional Tele specs. 21 vintage fret "C" neck, 3-saddle bridge, 7-1/4"R. fingerboard...

I reckon, from what you said in your other thread, that the Nashville Tele would give you more options for swapping around the configuration to suit your needs, Butch.

Hey Pete, basically I want to hear other players' opinions on which model Telecaster would best suit me.

Yes, I agree. I have owned quite a few Telecasters and I have routed the pickup cavities of all of them to have the universal route.

I went with the B Bender. Why? That is how you get that classic tele honky tonk sound.

My second pick, the hwy 1 by a slight hair over the deluxe series Nashville.

D'oh! I voted for the Highway 1 and I looked over the Nashville Tele in blonde! The Nashville Tele is EASILY one of the coolest sounding and playing guitars ever. I've played a few of them and they all stunned me! It was between one of those Nashville Teles and a Classic 60's Tele for me. I went with the 60's for traditions sake. I can't say I went wrong, but one of those Nashville Teles will be mine one of these days (especially that blonde one!)

I voted baja, the neck pickup sounds amazing. And its my favorite neck profile - the boat neck. One of my favorite teles

American Designer Series.

It's what I have.

Fender only made 250 of them though, so it might be a little hard to find. Nothing better though. I'd pay the $1500 100 more times.

Those are all nice choices. Before you buy a Tele be sure to give a G&L, Asat Classic a try!

Get a CIJ '52.

If you like a beefy neck the Baja is tough to beat. Killer guitar with a 4-way S-1 switch making lots of tone combos.

I love mine, best bang-for-buck ever.

Hey Carrot, yer right, those necks are great. Yours looks pretty killer!!:clap:

Re: Which Tele For Me???

Wow, I just checked the poll. The Baja is tied with the Nashville. Cool! I like that Baja Tele...

 

[Butch Snyder]

Re: Which Tele For Me???

The Baja is surging ahead...

Re: Which Tele For Me???

I voted Baja. It has really nice specs, and not all typical tele specs. Cool to already have the 4-way switch and nocaster bridge pup. If not the baja, then I'd say the Nashville because you like having 3 pup Teles.

No matter which one you go for, get it in honey blonde!!

I would really like to keep it a traditionally classic 2-pickup Tele. I have my Morse model which has 4. I get enough from that. I also agree that with the 4-way and the S-1 switch, I should be able to get what I need....

Butch, might have missed it - but are you buying them in a store or just ordering online?
Telecasters are pretty basic guitars, so the little they have on them matters a lot. I'm for trying them before buying...

Anyway,
The Highway 1 Texas has killer specs - but they've never imported them to Israel...
