I've been looking for a cheap Tele

[GreenKnee]

A tele so I can spray paint it pink and fuck it up beyond all recognition.

I've been looking at the Squier ones mainly, and I have encountered a major problem...
THEY'RE ALL FUCKING SWEET!

Squier Vintage Modified Telecaster Special



Squier Classic Vibe Telecaster Thinline



Fender Modern Player Telecaster Thinline Deluxe - This one I would not paint pink, it's a beaut.

I just bought one of the vintage modified teles w/ the jazzy pickup and it's amazing.

it's made in Indonesia but it's on par w/ the classic vibe stuff. I went and played all of the classic vibe teles, modern player teles, and, every under $400 tele I could get my hands on and it was MILES above everything else in terms of value. All of the classic vibe stuff has pretty thin necks that I didn't get a long with while the VM was chunkier and felt much better to me. The MP thinline was cool and very much on par w/ the VM but it's $100 more expensive. And the CV thinline was nice but I hate the crazy pale neck.

Thanks for the insight, really helpful

For some reason the big headstock looks mint on the vintage modified with jazzy pickup. I think this is the one I'm most likely to go for, cause that jazzy pickup sounds amazing.

Decision made! I've always wanted a single pickup guitar, so I'm going to go for an Esquire

[SKC Willie]

that's a damn great guitar.

seriously I've traded/played a ton of teles and getting rid of my esquire is probably the biggest regret I have. The neck is really chunky and it has the vintage frets and 7.25" radius. Everything about that guitar is really, really nice.

(and great choice on the Esquire).

If you have not already taken the plunge.. I am thinking of selling the blue Esquier (again).

The VV and VM series do have great Teles but I have a butterscotch Affinity Tele that is an absolute killer.
Only thing that may be a drag to some people is the body is thinner but I like it lighter.

As a previous owner I can vouche how great this guitar is
