That's a beautiful one too. I would want one like those, that natural wood grain color with a black pick guard.

Ha, ha ... you've crossed over to the other side.
Welcome friend. In all seriousness there's a reason guitarists as diverse as Muddy Waters, Pete Townshend, Jim Root, Prince, Ted Greene, James Burton, Steve Cropper, Jeff Beck, Andy Summers, Jimmy Page, etc. ... favor Teles especially when recording. I'd be willing to bet that 75% of all rock, pop and soul (and all the sub genres) records since the mid 50s have a Tele on them somewhere. And that 50% of those have a lot of Telecaster going on.

Because the Tele (or tele style - broadcaster, nocaster, esqire, tele) is Fender's first real electric guitar, they come in all neck sizes and fret sizes. And many times even on the same models things can be different depending on where (USA, Mex, Asia) and what year they are/were manufactured. (Which is normal for Fender, even in the early days - parts v. year wise.)
The 60th anniversary model has a modern 'C' shaped (kinda big 50s style but not a baseball bat) neck with medium jumbo frets (Dunlop 6150 or 6105), 9.5'' radius fingerboard and 22 frets (rare for a Tele - they're usually 21 frets). Find out exactly what your buddies specs are on his 60th anni model. *I would try to play a bunch of them. My best playing tele is a MIM 'classic 50s' style ... http://www.musiciansfriend.com/guitars/fen...063?src=3WBZ4DS *The 60th anni model has a more modern neck and fingerboard.

No problem. I edited a little bit for some more specifics.

When I was younger... i really disliked this guitar... nowadays it's on my wishing list... however I haven't tried a comfortable one for me, each of them had thick neck, but i didn't know what klasaine said about neck sizes. I have to try more of these ones. Talking about how tele looks, this one is my favorite, (but I didn't try it).

For better or for worse Fender necks are and always have been 'all over the map' as we say here.
A lot of the 80s Japanese Teles have the wider, flatter necks and can be found for pretty good prices. Squire 'classic vibe' Teles have pretty thin necks. Also, you can always file down the back of the neck. This post has been edited by klasaine: Apr 22 2013, 03:16 AM -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

I love my American Std Tele, it was my 2nd electric guitar I ever bought and after the horrible Hohner Charvel copy.
The pickguard was painted by an ex girlfriend I'm changing out the bridge for a 3 saddle soon, I've got Bare Knuckle Piledrivers that will give humbuckers a run for their money, but are still true single coils, so still have the Tele twang, It desperately needs a refret since I've been playing it since 1989. Going to put a middle pickup in too.

For a modern take on a Tele - but still retaining Teleness - you can also check into G&L, Sadowski, Tyler and Suhr guitars.

And if you like the body shape, but need humbuckers there is also Schecter PT.

I have been tempted to buy a tele recently. I never really liked them at first but they are growing on me.I can definitely see myself buying one in the next couple of months.

If the style, radius and fret size is all the same the feel of the neck will be negligibly different. Rosewood feels (and sounds) a little different than maple. The differences are subtle to nonexistent most of the time. With the medium jumbo frets you may not notice anything or you may even like the feel more.

That I can't say for sure w/o seeing the exact specs for each model side by side.
