Got the tele back today after a long time of planning and research. I was after a telecaster that had the vibe of an original with a more modern playability. There was many great companies involved in this and it has all fitted in place nicely. I'm so so happy with the result. It plays and sounds better that expected. The guitar is really lively and easy to play. I know some things people will not like (fender decal) but i'm not going to sell it, its for my enjoyment. I have owned many fender guitars and not been happy with them. This is it for me, the spec and look, feel and sound. This is what i have had in my head. The Dream telecaster.
