why cant i buy a telecaster

[eakinj]

the guitar shop in merced ca, had a rear routed fender tele with two humbuckers neck thru, and string through, it was sweet. i was tempted to buy it but the DK2 had my number. I know the tele purist will scoff at me but i wish there were more rear routed teles out there, i just don't like plastic on the top of my guitar, one of the reasons i kind of have issues with strats. i like strats but dunno.

but that's the cool thing when you find one that's close or right on the nose, it makes that guitar that much more special

If I walked in to a store looking for a Tele I'd walk out with a Strat or Explorer too, Tele's are ugly!

i want a tele with a hum bucker. i love the shape, just needs 24 frets and a floyd rose.



oh dear god i turned into one of them.....

A JTX Tele-shape has 24 frets and a licensed Floyd, neck is very different from an actual Tele neck but in a very good way for someone who likes J/C guitars. They are pretty inexpensive relative to other J/C models because most J/C fans don't seem to be into the Tele shape.

I have a sunburst tele for sale with rosewood board. Made by Fender Custom Shop. You know you want it...

The Tele is the one girl I have danced with but never married.
Many times.
My favorite has always been the '71-'74 blondes with maple FB's.

On the advice of experienced Fender guys I am going to check out the CV and see if it fits.
Limited capabiities I know, but I do like those guits.

The best Tele-stlye JACKSON was made in 1993, the JTX.

One of my projects is a Tele and this one had to have some humbuckers...

I understand the dilemma. I like the tele body shape but the traditional specs that you find out there don't do much for me. If I were to get a tele, it would be something more in the lines of the GMW offering with an OFR, single humbucker and a maple board like this. It's got a classy look and would be a killer player.

A "good" Tele, and by good I mean with a very light weight swamp ash body, thick maple neck, old style brass saddle bridge and a screaming bridge pickup is a tone monster.
