Which Fender Telecaster for Jazz?

[mr. beaumont]

Guitars are only feel cheap when they aren't played.

or you don't at least take 'em out to a nice dinner before you do.

Hey guys, here it is:

Attachment 16098

Had trouble loading images, or I'd post a few more. Anyway, it arrived this morning. The shop did a nice job setting it up. Once I plugged it in, I knew this is what I'd been looking for. I'll probably throw some 11s on it, but I'm really pleasantly surprised with this for such a "cheap" guitar. Thanks everyone for helping steer me in the right direction. I'll post a better review of the guitar (2013 MIM Fender standard) when I've had some time with it under my fingers... but I get the idea many of you know what I'm likely to say!

Thanks again forum members.

Aww, **** no! You bought that!?! What, are you ******????


I'm just yanking your chain. The Tele is an artistically simple instrument that just gets out of your way and lets you get on with it. Mine is a modified Squire Affinity, for pete's sake! About as cheap as it gets and a good sounding axe. I put in more in mods than I did buying it to get that 5-10% more. Shoulda just bought an MIM Tele instead of the Chinese-made one. Congratulations on your new guitar and enjoy it, I am sure it will serve you well. Now go listen to a bunch of Ed Bickert.

I don't mean to keep beating this thread horse... But my God. I really wish I'd paid attention when I first got into jazz a few years back. More than a few players on this site suggested that I purchase a telecaster. Good advice. I really can't explain it. But if you have one you like, you know.
