I'm feeling a craving for a Tele. 

I'm assuming the neck profile will be different to my Squire Jazzmaster Vintage Modified. I'd like something a little slimmer in the neck. I'm fairly new to electric, I can no longer stand bashing out open chords on acoustic so it's time to learn guitar properly.

Thinking of the sort of thing I might pick up secondhand for up to 150 quid. I like to buy secondhand too rather than new and I can maybe upgrade parts later as my ability develops.

Anyone recommend any particular manufacturers or models?

I have a couple of Squier Standard teles ... and they are really very playable. My blonde one is actually one of the best feeling and sounding Teles I've had ... and I've had everything up to a 1965 vintage Fender one.

Just checked and they have gone.so presumed  they were both sold. Dirt cheap ,but classic vibe occasionally sell for £175/200 , 2nd hand , if you can wait. Check gumtree and Facebook 'Music gear for sale /wanted Yorkshire'. Also 'NW Music Gear For Sale & Trade'. Free to join and maybe put an ad on there... obviously deal in cash and meet up in person ,public place ,McDonald's,supermarket car  park etc..... I take a little battery amp and lead to check guitar is working and  maybe take someone with you ,who is knowledgeable about guitars... good  luck
