    Dude, eventually you will use up all your funny. Gotta pace yourself.

    That did make me laugh, considering you have what...10 Tele's now? ;)


    No, jeez.

    Just three.

    I only need three more, and my collection is complete:

    Tele-Sonic
    '72 Deluxe RI
    American Standard
    ...and if you don't like it, you can suck on an egg.

    I LOVE it. Everything is stock except for the bridge. I didn't want intonation problems, so I had them put on a 6-saddle bridge when the guitar came in. It probably would have been fine. It's a MiM '72 Custom Tele, had a luthier friend of mine set it up...neck adjusted, intonation, etc. He said it was the best factory put together guitar he'd ever seen. I don't really use the neck position much, but it does sound good. It's always always in the bridge position for that classic tele bite, but when I don't need as much bite the middle position has a great sound.
    i've had my eyes on that tele...beautiful guitar. However, i think if i get a tele it's going to be a 52 butterscotch blonde...i'm in love with it.

    in general, how noisy are teles? compared to strats where do they rate?

    As far as Tele's go the only other one I would get is the '52 RI, and the only thing I'd add to it would be these...

    On mine, in the bridge position, I have enough high end to cut through a frozen steak. It's awesome. If I still need some high end, just not as peircing, I put it in the middle position and it blends well with the humbucker.
    But yeah, bridge position on a tele is noisier than a strat in the same position.

    I like the '52RI too, if I ever get a 2nd tele that'd be it.
