I don't know man, I'm not really in the market for an El Cheapo. And I'd like something with a little more flash. That one is a tad...plain.

If you want a complete surf green Tele with a maple neck for cheap, the least expensive one I know of is the Xaviere one: http://store.guitarfetish.com/xvsugrmafi1.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members EJD Posted March 24, 2010 Members Share Posted March 24, 2010 God dang, I love Teles. Amen. I've been a Strat guy all my guitar-playing life. But I picked up a friend's Tele, and, while not a convert, I was still blown away. It's an MIJ '62 reissue from the late 80's, in sunburst... absolutely stunning I must get a Tele. Some of the Squier ones look ace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Preacher Posted March 24, 2010 Members Share Posted March 24, 2010 Something from Xaviere along the lines of a deluxe... EDIT: my bad, that's more of a seafoam... http://store.guitarfetish.com/xvsehodr18pe.html Oh well, here's one a little closer...but still with the yellow neck...bummer. http://store.guitarfetish.com/xvsesehocu2.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alexslashaxel Posted March 24, 2010 Members Share Posted March 24, 2010 :D My surf green AVRI Tele is still my #1. As Brian said, apparently Fender released a surf green Tele as part of the 50s Tele line a while ago, but they're incredibly difficult to find. Mine is an American Vintage Reissue '62 Tele Custom, but they only come with a rosewood board. You could always get one and swap out the neck for a maple one. Or, as others have said, you can build your own. Fender put out a Special Edition surf green Tele, but it has a matching headstock. I'm not sure if you want that. Here's a link to one on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.com/FENDER-SPECIAL-EDITION-TELECASTER_W0QQitemZ260570633454 This is probably the best looking guitar I have ever seen.

Members Tweedledee Posted March 24, 2010 Members Share Posted March 24, 2010 You can roll your eyes all you want, but they're not the same color. I was just trying to make the point that ReRanch doesn't consider them the same thing, despite your assertion that they do. When you put a Seafoam Green and Surf Green guitar side-by-side in person, the difference is even more drastic than in photos or color samples on a computer monitor. Seafoam Green also tends to be more reactive to changes in lighting than Surf Green is. Sometimes it looks extremely blue, sometimes it looks pure green. If that's not what you're looking for, then a guitar with a Seafoam finish might be kind of disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But these colors have been commonly interchanged for years because they are so close. Same with Olympic White vs. Arctic White. Fender's colors have always been confusing - nothing new. But if those two colors are that different/important to you - knock yourself out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Alex W Posted March 25, 2010 Members Share Posted March 25, 2010 All these pictures are driving me crazy, those are some seriously nice looking guitars. As for going the Warmoth route, how difficult is it to install the electronics? That's the hurdle that's been keeping me from doing that already. EDIT: After checking out what Warmoth has to offer, that seems like a really cool option. I haven't been to their site in a few years, and last time I checked it out, things were not nearly as customizable. Will they install electronics and whatnot? As far as I know Warmoth won't install electronics. At least they wouldn't last summer when I ordered various parts from them. Installing pickups and pots isn't very hard if you know how to solder which isn't a difficult skill to learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Super Rad! Posted March 25, 2010 Author Members Share Posted March 25, 2010 I haven't soldered in a while, but I don't remember it being that difficult. I guess I'm just more concerned about spending money on an awesome Warmoth body & neck, then messing the electronics up myself. And that Avri Tele is unbelievable. I would easily sacrifice my maple neck preference for one of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
