Surprising how time flies when you're enjoying your self.
Five or six weeks have passed since I bought the Fender Telecaster, in Candy Apple Red.
Have played the Telecaster every day since I bought it, and I must sing it's praises, set up was perfect straight out of the box, still using the strings that came on the guitar.
The Telecaster is my favourite electric guitar, it took me three guitars to find the one I like.
The first electric guitar was the Epiphone Les Paul Pro Top, it was a beautiful looking guitar, more that a little on the heavy side, and as standard had two humbucker pick-ups, great guitar and great sound, but not the sound I was looking for, a bit on the Rock/Heavy Metal sound.
Next was the Squire Stratocaster, Vintage Modified model, great guitar very comfortable shape to play, and like the position of the jack socket, on the front of the guitar, really like this guitar, and still own it.
But there is something about the Telecaster, that has a massive fan base, it's a very simple Guitar, a slab of wood for the body, with a stick for the neck, with two single pick-ups, but the sound and playability are out of this world. The only way I can explain the sound is, twangy/Country/Rockabilly, it's the sound I was after, and great fun to play.
Anyone else got a Telecaster. 😀
This is the sound of the Telecaster that I like.
