    Default Hello from Ireland!

    At one time I thought the tele was the most un-attractive looking guitar out there. Now Im after buying this and cannot put it down! I have a Highway1 strat too but the tele is way superior.

    Here she is.....

    Hi Lev,
    Thanks! Ive just got back into it after a year of bored guitar playing over ten years ago. Im into a lot of stuff except heavy metal (too many of them in Ireland). i like most styles and am looking at disco\funk at the moment, would like to jam with other musicians as its the only way to keep up the motivation (hence the boredem yeard ago)

    Cheers

    Ger, I agree with you. I once thought Teles were butt ugly.

    I don't anymore, but even so, yours is extra sweet.

    Welcome!!

    Warren, did you write a script which posts your patented welcome at the flick of a key, or do you cut n' paste each time?

    Thanks for all the kind comments folks. My plan was to get a gibson but was very dissapointed with the guitars I tried (an LP Baritone, LP Studio and Explorer). Im learning a lot of Andy Summers (The Police) stuff saw the tele, tried it and fell in love with it. My strat is sitting in the corner now!

    Hi Ger, nice to have you here!

    I have a Squier Tele, and it works great for me. Someday I'll get a Fender Tele I imagine.
