G&L ASAT Classic Custom Left-Handed Guitar
For you Tele fans:
What do you think are the most highly regarded, highly sought-after Telecaster models for either playing or collecting, and what makes them special? I’m talking about off-the-shelf, stock Teles, no mods. Maybe you own one...maybe you want one. Any thoughts??
I'd be extremely happy with this.

I am not enamored by the definitive "tele" sound. I do LOVE the shape of the tele though. I already have the one and only tele I have lusted after since I grew hair on my balls...
I have another like it from the cheaper Diamond Series line as well for the office, etc.
The Vintage Hot Rod '52 model. Just a very cool, Micawber-vibe Tele in my favorite color combo:

CS Nocaster all the way.
and the Baja too... everything I ever wanted in a tele.. from color to fretboard radius and pickups, just needed a nitro finish for more mojo! I never played one but the specs make me crazy to put my hands in one of them.
2 for CS Nocaster!

I guess to start, I'd want that '52 reissue like the one Springsteen gave away here last year. Then a decent MIM to mod up with humbuckers or sumthin.

If I could only have one it would be like so:
thinline ash body with F-hole and flame maple top,
died blue with cream binding,
either no pickguard or a white pearloid,
eith s/s or s/h(bridge/neck) with coil tap on the volume knob,
all maple neck w/black block inlays and black binding.
however, since it has to be stock I'd go with the CS tele thinline -OR- CS '59 esquire reissues.
edit: the CS could also be the mexican classic reissues, because they're cheaper.

I don't have a good picture, but about 17 secs. in you can see the one I like here. I wish I could get those low E bends in tune every time, tho.
If I could change one thing, I'd get another one in "vintage" white to go with my butterscotch blond.
