Recommend a TELE-esque/type/copy guitar

[sleepykitty]

Went to Ranking in bras basah and got myself a tele cali series this evening

I checked out Swee lee just now. Quite a small range of squier teles. I saw some from the standard series. Not sure if I saw a thinline too. Then I saw something that made me drool.. Epiphone Valve Junior!!! :lol:

How much does a tele cost in ranking? How about a strat?

 

[sleepykitty]

If my memory serves me right..

Squier Tele Cali - $300
J&D Tele - $265
Shine Tele - $235

Squier Strat Cali - $270 ish

cool! is the body ask/alder? or basswood?
and.. how would you review on its tone and feel?

haha sorry for asking noobish questions.. just wanna know

The body's alder.

I love the neck. It feels raw, yet smooth. The pups lack 'punch' when in high gain though, but it doesnt matter cost i'm gonna swap them out anyways

Check out Ranking. If you're not particular about brands, check out Ranking. They've got Squiers, J&D ( which is really much better than the Squier) , and Shine ( which is really the best of out them in terms of twang ).
