Some of these Tele styles look interesting indeed. And with the combo of such a simple design and modem manufacturing, it means even if it requires a comprehensive setup out the box you can still end up with a capable instrument for relatively little outlay. Spoiled for choice.

The Merle Haggard is ridiculously expensive. I have been vacillating between the FMT HH and the Richie Kotzen MIJ. Another very compelling model to my sensibilities. I like that the Kotzen has a more traditional tele style neck PU, but for me the tele is all about that bridge pickup or the two in combination. The FMT HH has a coil tap but I have no illusion that I’d get classic chickin’ pickin’ twang from those Seymour Duncan ‘buckers. Still a lot of tonal versatility on tap from the FMT HH.

Not a fan of skinny necks. Ordered one of the Korina offset telecaster's. Because: MIJ, U neck, P90's, 25.5 scale, not that expensive ($1K), and great looking wood. Like the ergo's of the body too but any tele/strat/jazzmaster body is fine for me.
.012 sets are usually the lightest strings I like.. may have to drop to .011's for these. We'll see. Been awhile since I spent time with a solid body so there will be a little learning curve.

It’s here...

I have to say I was quite impressed with Sweetwater. This wasn’t my first purchase from them - been a customer for years, but this is the first guitar I’ve bought from them, and for a significantly sub-$1000 purchase the transaction felt like I was buying a 10-top PRS. They sent me a link to high res photos of the exact S/N guitar I selected. I’m quite happy with the setup, though it’s got pretty light gauge strings and will probably need a tweak after I string it up with the TI 12 flatwounds.

Just finished this one up and couldn't wait to get it strung. I have a mahogany/macassar ebony neck (1-3/4" nut) in the works. Should be a nice combo. Not gonna say it sounds like an archtop but it sure doesn't sound like a Tele. Pickup is DiMarzio 36th Anniversary.

Nice instrument. Congratulations, and play it in good health!

I went on and just ordered. I was and then was not a 100 times.
