Members bluesboy Posted March 21, 2006 Members Share Posted March 21, 2006 All these posts/pic's about tele's have added to my already terrible GAS, and i have pulled the trigger on the midnight wine red. It should get here tomorrow or thursday. Yay me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bsman Posted March 21, 2006 Members Share Posted March 21, 2006 I've always really liked that color (and I have a long-standing love-hate relationships with Teles -- over the past 30 years, I've bought and sold four). Currently, I'm tele-less, and have thought about trying a tacocaster (all I've had before are US teles in various guises, including an original 72 custom that I'd kill to have back, but that's another story.) So, I'll be anxious to hear what you think about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JoeBoy Posted March 21, 2006 Members Share Posted March 21, 2006 Real sweet, give us a review when you get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bluesboy Posted March 21, 2006 Author Members Share Posted March 21, 2006 will post a review when I get it... in the past i have owned a 72 reissue thinline, Agile TC630, and have played on a regular basis an american standard tele. What really got my psyched about this new MIM tele is the new revoiced hotter pickups... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Raspberry Posted March 21, 2006 Members Share Posted March 21, 2006 Originally posted by bsman Whoa! That's about $125 more than it costs here. You guys are really getting reamed over there!!! Well Fender being american, it costs more to ship overseas. But we get Marshalls, Voxes, Laneys etc cheaper as they are british companies.

I haven't been overly impressed with the old Standards but this one was... what's the word I'm looking for? Oh yeah, hot! Enjoy and looking forward to your Tele-licious review.

Members h2oman Posted March 22, 2006 Members Share Posted March 22, 2006 I got mine yesterday, you will be very happy. Better than my old 04 Standard I had and better than the Muddy Waters I had as well. The improvements really do make a difference and quality seems to be very high as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bluesboy Posted March 23, 2006 Author Members Share Posted March 23, 2006 well... my new toy arrived this morning... if anybody is curious about getting one of these guitars... just do it. It is very high quality... I tuned it up, and it had great action and setup right out of the box. All I did was adjust the pickup height. It sounds AWESOME.... I'm so happy, and I can't wait to play it with my band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BlackHatHunter Posted March 23, 2006 Members Share Posted March 23, 2006 Question: do ALL Fender Telecaster MIM standards have a HB route in the neck position? I know that 2004 ones do from seeing a agave blue body with such a route... thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bluesboy Posted March 23, 2006 Author Members Share Posted March 23, 2006 it seems that no matter how many (and how expensive) humbucker guitars I buy, I keep coming back to single coil guitars as guiatrs with the tone I like the best... maybe now that I've spent a million dollars (not literally) I will learn my lesson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
