Members fastblueheeler Posted October 18, 2011 Members Share Posted October 18, 2011 Really I was. Quit looking at CL daily, haven't searched ebay except for old Volvo parts in months. Only buying strings as needed. I was very happy with my little collection of acoustic guitars. I thought I was cured until............... Some joker in the Jam group I play in three times a week thought it would be fun to have an electric night. So we did and it was a blast but it brought back my GAS for the dark side. Searching Telecasters, pedals, amps almost hourly. The recent posts from TAH and J. Chaos haven't helped either. I really want a 50's Esquire reissue or maybe a PRS SE semi-hollow or maybe both. A small tube amp would be great and I need a decent gig bag. I'm screwed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members OldGuitarPlayer Posted October 18, 2011 Members Share Posted October 18, 2011 Get one of these. I have one put away for me at the local used guitar shop. I will be paying it off at the end of the month. It's a Squier Classic Vibe Tele in butterscotch blonde finish. http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/TeleCV50BB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fastblueheeler Posted October 18, 2011 Author Members Share Posted October 18, 2011 Funny, that's exactly the guitar I was thinking about. I've heard good things about it and it's affordable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members OldGuitarPlayer Posted October 18, 2011 Members Share Posted October 18, 2011 Funny, that's exactly the guitar I was thinking about. I've heard good things about it and it's affordable. I managed to find mine used for $100 less then the new price w/gigbag. It was only a few weeks old when the previous owner brought into the used guitar shop to sell or trade. It's in mint condition. I tried it out and immediately put money down on it for layaway. Nice slim neck and fast maple fretboard. Pretty good pickups but I probably will swap the volume & tone control pots out for better ones since I am fussy about those. Other than that it's a sweet work-horse of a guitar. I'd highly suggest you try one. They even make a sunburst "custom" model with a rosewood fretboard if that is more to your taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Stackabones Posted October 18, 2011 Members Share Posted October 18, 2011 It'd be an easy one to do an Esquire conversion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gitnoob Posted October 18, 2011 Members Share Posted October 18, 2011 Just get a Line 6 POD and plug your acoustic into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To paraphrase Bear Bryant, "that would be like kissing your sister"................ and I don't even know your sister. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members guitarcapo Posted October 18, 2011 Members Share Posted October 18, 2011 Get an Egnator Tweaker for the amp. When it comes to small affordable tube amps, it's basically got you covered. As for a guitar. You might want to go with an archtop if you're an acoustic guy at heart. That way you can play it acoustically and get a little something out of it.

Members Neal Posted October 18, 2011 Members Share Posted October 18, 2011 I say get it. Bill, as of now, I have no desire for another guitar, but I know there's something out there with my personality ALL over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
