It was seriously awesome. It had brass saddles n' shit. tinted glossy neck. yum.

Lovely.

My Mustang has a tinted gloss neck, I have to admit it does look a lot nicer than the slightly anemic clear on the Baja Telecaster.

Just as a question of aesthetics I quite like the very pale maple that fender has been using lately.

+1, too much gloss is bad thing

YOU SON OF A FUCKING BITCH.


THEY HAVEN'T COME IN UP HERE YET.


FUCKING STEREOTYPING THE 'SOUTH WITH THE TELES

MEAN WHILE I CANT GET MY HANDS ON JACK FUCKING SHIT

I didn't plug it in, but it was nice and bright unplugged, neck was thinner than my tele's. It was faded white/cream with a black pg. No price tag, meaning these rednecks are prolly asking more for it. The headstock logo was old skool too.

OH, and its made in china.

sweet, i live in oklahoma, fuckin redneck capital of planet earth
might stop by the local guitarslut center and see if they've got any

I've not heard a bad thing about these guitars... there's been quite a hype about them.

There's 3 demos on you tube btw for anyone who is interested... very recent !!

My work is getting one in on monday/tuesday.... if I approve it'll be coming home with me...

I reckon with my staff discount it'll be about £190 ish...

I saw one of those today, too. I didn't play it, but it looked really nice. Nice finish on the neck, no fret sprout. They also had the classic vibe 50's strat, and that was very tempting. But I was looking for the 60's Jazz bass and they didn't have it. I've been looking all over NYC and I haven't found one yet.

i got to plug one in. it sounded pretty good. i <3 the neck pickup. sounded all vintagey and growley and shit. awesome.

oh and it played nice. do want.

thin as in like jag-stang thin?

from where your thumb rests on the back of the neck...yes. Fretboard width wasn't but pretty close.

at 1:13 - 1:16 in this video this guy fucking shattered windows in my house. it was fucking awesome. all the cats went running and hilary yelled "ohhh god!!!"

thing that impresses me most about this guitar.


it sounds the same thru like 5 different amps here. it has its own voice, and it sounds fucking good thru whatever.

It sounds like a Telecaster. a Good Telecaster.

I just went to have a look along Denmark St for one... nothin' in site... I hate Denmark St... lot's of bad attitude there !!!

I did check out the classic vibe strat though for its build quality... and it was lovely !! Sounded nice too, kept having to look at the headstock to make sure it wasn't a Fender... the guy in the shop was impressed too... most haven' heard about this series of guitar...
... "the tele is made of pine..."
"what, pine ? Are you sure.. "
"yup... like the Esquires... the original prototypes for the tele "
reverts back to his boss... "this lads saying the orignal prototype squiers were made of pine... "
*sighs...


Goin on what the strat sounded like I'll prob be gettin one... the neck was lovely !! no sharp frets !! and a nice piece of maple too...

Soooo - in the vid with the 3 champs: What did the Mercury Magnetics mod do besides making the amp really noisy and shitty sounding?

The tele still sounds good, though.
