Dream Tele

i picked up this tele about a week and a half ago and let me just say, its a sick guitar. i had to give up my american telecaster deluxe but it was way worth it in my opinion. i'm a huge fan of strange colors and mine is in surf green with the matching headstock and it is drop-dead gorgeous. i finally feel like i have my own axe, my signature if you will. in my opinion, it feels like any other american standard which is great and you get the added finish. great twang! it's going to be my main axe for a LONG time.

This is by far the most beautiful guitar i have ever played next to the vintage 52 tele that is my dream guitar. I absolutely loved everything about this guitar from the feel and sound to the eye candy looks of it. I am saving now and should have enough by.... next year =[ I CANT WAIT!

When I first saw this guitar, I thought it was one of those Fender Custom Shop Matching Headstock models. But then I saw the price tag. It plays and looks great. The picture doesn't really do this guitar much justice. It stays in tune pretty well and it's a great guitar if you got $ in your pocket.
