After buying an Affinity Tele a while back, I decided I liked it enough to buy a better one.. 

Heres the latest addition to the crew, a Fender MIM player series tele in Polar White.

    They aren't joking about Polar White, you could go snowblind looking at that!

    Nice choice, these Player Series Guitars are a great move by Fender.

    Haha I know right! 

    The explorer in the back is a shade whiter in real life, the tele being just slightly off/warm white. But its in no way an aged white/light cream like the affinity version. 

    I quite liked the properly off white, but then again I do like white guitars so I like this shade too lol

    Cheers all. 

    Initially I was after an esp tele, but couldnt afford the £700+ upper models and didnt particularly want more emgs. 

    So I was going to get the lower end model, for about £350 and do it up a bit, but nowhere ever has them in stock, its always a special order item it seems.

    I held off for a couple months, but nothing came up Esp wise. The Ron woods looked ok but wasnt specifically what I was after.  

    So I dug deep and pinched from the savings a little and got this. 
    Pmt Romford, decent price, traded in the affinity tele, all done easy and close to home. 

    I do love it, and its good having a maple necked guitar in the mix, plus its nice to have a fender too.

    Then 3 days ago I happen to look at a certain retailers website... there it was, several in stock, £350, reliced Esp tele’s.. 


    FUUUUUUUUUUUCK. 

    The problem now is...they offer it on buy now pay later.. as in, no deposit even  required and as long as you pay it off within 12 months, you dont pay any interest.. just a £15 settlement fee. 

     Well you know what the problem now is... lol.
