I need the rosewood tele, such a sexy axe!
How come some have the good old school bridges, and some have the shitty new one? I bet the ones with proper bridges cost lots of ££££

It was being hidden from sight due to its extreme ugliness, why why why ruin a crackin looking guitar? (blocks more like bollocks)

blocks no binding ? That's worse than having no blocks in the first place... booo...
binding and dots would have looked better.

NO ashtray bridge on the 60th anniversary tele? Fail. Also, those modern tuners, however good they are, look hideous.

I really really can't stand the tuners and bridges they stick on the American Standards.

Same same - this is going to sound terribly purist and amber switch tips, but for me*, it's not a tele unless it's got a three saddle ashtray bridge, it's such a part of the playing and feel of the guitar.
* Not you, me. You probably disagree. Because you've got one.

I wouldn't own a Tele without one. 6 saddle is Strat territory.

Needs the edges as well - took me ages to get used to playing them, but now a tele without them feels all wrong, and throws my (terrible) technique.

They're really missing the mark on their 60th anniversary models. They're not sticking to the original design at all but still calling it a 60th anniversary for some reason. Everyone at Talkbass is up in arms about their 60th anniversary p bass model which looks like this:
They just took pieces of every era of the p bass and slapped it together and called it an anniversary model.

This. Blocks without binding is shite. Also, why didn't they use the proper Fender block dimensions? Did they outsource the production of these shit necks to Warmoth?
