    Default Went looking for a Blonde last night...

    I went looking for a Blonde last night...

    There've been a couple of posts recently about Squier Tele's, some with valid negative comments... but many positive as well.

    I know it's not the top of the line guitar, but I thought it would be fine for my basement collection. I'm just looking for a bit of inexpensive variety.

    I went to my local guitar shop to see if they had the Squier Affinity Tele in 'Butterscotch'. All they had was the Tele in black, but I really want to have a look at the Butterscotch.
    http://www.squierguitars.com/product...tno=0310203550

    With none in stock, the young woman at the counter offered to take my number and call me if she located one. Good customer service I thought.

    In case they can't locate one, I called a large guitar shop downtown who said they had them in stock, so maybe I'll visit them next week sometime.

    Another model that I like the look and configuration of is the Vintage Modified SH Tele, but it's a bit more $$$ so I'll have to give it some thought.

    I'd fully expect replacing the stock P/U's, but who knows... they may be ok.

    If you've seen one of these Butterscotch Affinity Tele's and have any feedback, I'd love to here it.

    Thanks again...

    Cheers

    Last night I checked out Long and Mcquades (Oshawa), and today I called Steves Music downtown TO.

    Do you have a lead on another shop carrying Squires at good prices?

    Thanks...

    There is an L & M in Burlington, I can't see any price benefit there, but if I can I will pop into "The Guitar Shop" and take a looksee.

    No luck David, L&M had nada, and the Burlington Guitar Shop has been closed for a while, not sure what's going on there.

    Thanks for looking Ted.

    Strange about Burlington Guitar shop closing while the Web Site is still up and running.

    I think I'll make a trip downtown Monday to browse around.

    what about ordering it online. though you can't really take it for a test drive. the guitar shop I go to you can ask the owner (or whoever's working there to order the guitar you want than you buy it. Is that a posibility at the one you go to?
