    Default Hello from East Tennessee

    Hi guys.

    I found you guys looking for info on Teles, as I'm thinking of getting my first Tele, but I'm gonna try to stay within a budget. I've been playing about 30 years, but not nearly enough of late. I've got a LP, Strat, and a parts strat, and looks like a Tele is next. Had my hands on a 50 something butterscotch tele a friend of my dad's brought by when I was a teenager. One word, SWEET.

    Lots of good info on here. I look forward to stopping in.

    Welcome to the forum, there are a lot of Tele folks here or at least people that want to own one. You are in good company in your pursuit of a BUG (you'll have to search it out).

    Enjoy the forum and look forward to hearing/reading more from you.
