Thanks, Robert
I got an email from you wishing me happy bithday. May have been automated, but it made me feel good. As it was, it turned out to be an awesome birthday. I was given some gear as a present from the GC, and I returned it, got a Les Paul. Didnt bond to it for some reason. It seemed cramped and heavy, *** heavy, that is. I saw an American Deluxe Tele at the GC way on the other side of town on Sat, hauled *** over there on Sunday and made the exchange. Oh, man, when its right, you will know it. I'm so happy with the purchase. it was a return, used guitar, but as close to perfect as could be. Butterscotch/blk pickguard, locking tuners, SI switch. Case candy was still in the case, unopened.. I got a great deal. Locking tuners are a necessity, I believe.
I'm just a Fender guy, I guess. I wont be lusting after other guitars anymore. The Band/Robbie Robertson started me down the single coil path, then I got distracted by other types of music. I had to go back and re-examine that type of music. This is my 2nd Fender Deluxe guitar, the other being my Strat. The Tele was finished with a higher level of refinement, in my view, though I love that Strat.
I turned 64 today, I'm tired of working. I'm in construction and lucky to still have all my fingers. I want out. just want to play.
I will post pics when I take some, and if I learn how to post pics.
Thanks, man.

Congrats to you Taurus sounds like a nice Tele you found yourself.
And good locking tuners I think are a good thing, I agree.
It's a real bugger when you have to work at 64..... I did not plan for the future, spent all my money on toys so I will be working till I kick off the planet myself.

Guess I have to be the one...
Pics or it didn't happen.
I'm kidding. I believe you and congratulations on your new Tele. I'd still love to see photos though just because I love Teles.

Great to hear! Congratulations on an awesome guitar!
Hope to see photos and hear some sound clips!
