I just joined the tele brigade, and I've got 10's on mine. They sound fine. 9's are too wobbly for me, and I can bend the 10's fine.

So, now I will wait to see if they can get a new one in or fender will let them mark down this one but honestly I would just rather a new with out any flaws if it was on the body of the AXE I properly would not care but on the neck no way.
So, now I must wait it out but the guitar was way more than I expected once I get it worked out it is another keeper to add to the collection for sure.

That sounds foolish of Fender to offer such a small price cut, especially if the ding is under your finger during any playing or bending. It just won't sound right, I mean for a brand new guitar.
UPS is terrible I know, but who do you blame? Quality control should have picked it up, in my opinion.
Nice way to take the wind out of your sail and increase the anxiety level waiting all that time. Then they might move the date back even farther. I'd ask for something for the inconvenience in additon to the defective neck.

Like a lot of other guys here, I like the sound and feel of 10s on my Fender-ish guitars. It just feels like the right gauge of string for single coils/ inline tuners. Or something like that.
That sucks about your "almost" guitar. I really like those Thinlines. Hopefully the replacement will come soon, so you can satisfy that GAS pain.

Guitars: Lots.
Amphs: More than last year.
Pedals: Many, although I go straight from guitar to amp more often lately.
You might want to try the new "cobalt" strings. They are advertized to be more powerful and clear sounding. I found them to be louder and very nice. They made such a big difference in sound and tone that they reminded me of the difference you notice when you put some good new pickups in a guitar. I definitely like them. Whether they last longer I don't know but they do have a different sound them that some may find useful.
I still use D'darrio nines and tens, and Slinkys. The "cobalts" are just another option.
