QUOTE (bleez @ Sep 21 2016, 09:56 PM)  it's not a 2001 model? That's a pity.... older things are better  Personally, I like the 3 saddle bridge as well but I can only echo what Metray said, its a US tele and looks good, Im sure it sounds just as good  I absolutely adore my tele, I think everyone should have one Sorry mate. that was a typo, it is 2001, I've edited it now  QUOTE (Mertay @ Sep 21 2016, 09:30 PM) Although there are way more experienced members here than me when it comes to Tele, from the Tele's I've played the type of bridge matters to me alot. I haven't modded a bridge to hear the difference but my general observation is the 6 saddle vs the classic 3 makes a difference in tone character. The so called "twang" is more upfront with the classic 3 saddle while with the 6 though its still there a bit more subtle. I see more 6 saddle versions on store walls than 3 and that makes sense to me as its more suited for the modern player, its probably more comfortable for most and for non-tele-traditional music genre's their tone can be more versatile. Its and American Tele that looks cool so it can't be bad, if the price is good then a good deal. I'd only suggest trying a 3 saddle Tele too before pulling the trigger. I have played a 3 saddle, didn't like the feel, loved the tone.

Tele had been sold when I got there, my fault, I didn't put a deposit on it. My mate has some things of mine for sale in the shop and I said I would probably have it when they sold but not to wait for me. I have been known to bottle out of buying guitars before when they are in that price range

I had tried it and it was lovely, the neck was quite rounded but felt very comfortable.

OK, I'm Jonesing for a Tele, been doing some research and it turns out the Baja Classic Player is better than the American std and much less money. A friend works in PMT in Birmingham and I'm going to try one when I get chance.

A friend works in PMT in Birmingham and I'm going to try one when I get chance. It looks like you may have caught that Tele bug that has been going around lately. To be honest, I have been eyeballing some used ones myself. I probably won't pull the trigger though. Or will I? https://anchorage.craigslist.org/msg/5909868245.html https://anchorage.craigslist.org/msg/5978186309.html This post has been edited by AK Rich: Feb 7 2017, 05:23 PM |

Thanks folks,
As these hold their money quite well used I'll probably go for a brand new one from PMT in Birmingham where my mate works. Has to be a blonde one though. I got the bug even more when I visited Denmark Street in London at the weekend. Check out some pics HERE
