Which Tele would suit me best?

[subversion]

should consider this one:

 

[Whitestrat]

Between 3 single coils and 2 humbuckers and oodles of wiring variations, I got more tones that I know what to do with. The Tele is something I've always been fascinated with, but I have no clue how to play one. Especially that miniscule sounding neck pickup. *sigh*

Tone wise...Sub, that Squier tele is not a real tele ...eventho it looks like one ...sorry!!

Besides vintage ...the best tele that i have played with are those early Japanese Fenders with their stock pups...

j_m_s, what's ur budget and are you only looking at fenders?

 

[j_m_s]

Budget is around 1k +/ maybe an extra $200 or so?

What else should I consider?

no apologies necessary. when i bought it, i was fully aware i'm getting a dual humbucking guitar, regardless of the Tele outline.

for you, JMS.. i would say.. a Fender Japan 52 or 62 reissue with texas special pickup option.. commonly found at peninsula around your budget.

The Baja Tele
http://www.fender.com/products//search.php?partno=0141502389

The Baja's neck is the same specs as the one from my MIM fender, so thats a plus. I've read about Baja's being heavy. So yeah, I wouldnt want a real heavy guitar.

So long as it doesn't weigh like a Les Paul right? Buy for me can?

Sure Sub...but that squier is a looker tho...

The signature tele tone comes from the angled bridge pup and the placement of the neck pup.
I know this ...as I’ve tried deviating from the above combination and it drifts the tele tone to something else.

So if you are goin for a tele with its “tone” ...please consider the above.

[widdly]

yeah he made me laugh...the look on his face too. wtf?

 

[junkiemanxl]

I would go for the 72 thinline
only down for me is the lack of finishes on the tele.
But then again, it would be wise to have a go at those you are planning to get. Sometimes specs and reviews alone will not cut what does it for you.

Hey James, I just tried the Baja Tele today at Swee Lee, ran thru a Peavey Bandit 112. Gotta say, it's one hell of a Tele, the cleans are suberb, and the distortion was great! Just like they say, Telecasters are the most versatile guitars (subjective), I have to agree. I wasn't expecting the drive to be good, but hell, it was great! I think you should get it.

My only problem with it was the weight. You were right, it's dang heavy!
