Most of the American stuff looks good, but will probably be in a higher price range than I will be looking in anytime soon. The squier teles look pretty cool.
the 'thumbrest' changed it's usage.
it was never on the 'wrong side'
the bass players back in the day used there thumbs and had that 'rest' for the remaining fingers.
Do some research.
example, buddy holly's bassist. ( the one that got electrocuted )

It's fair to assume that it was Dick Dale who decided the colours on this guitar, so a joke can be made about him designing Stevie Wonder's wardrobe, just, it's not a very funny joke.
Unless Stevie Wonder designs his own wardrobe, in which case it doesn't make any sense.
i think mike's point is a joke needing that much explanation is one that missed the target. know your audience and all that. . .
Paul understood it with no explanation from me, he didn’t find it funny but he understood it. As for knowing your audience:

In the words of Bob Monkhouse: "They all laughed when I said I was going to be a comedian. Well, they're not laughing now"
Not a huge fan of the deluxe's pickguards but my dream tele would have a strat shaped headstock
as well as a p90 in the neck
im just chock full of smileys
you're right, that pickguard looks perfect on a white tele. The ones previously pictured just sucked the potential out of my mind for that shape.
excuse me if that didnt make sense its 4:46am and i've gone without sleep for a few days. INTERNET INSOMNIA YES!
<3 everything about this tele. Loved the Tele deluxe i played a couple months back, the neck was a dream which really surpised me. But the pickups where underwhelming IMO.
