The guitar it's self isn't anything out of the ordinary... but Wilco's the man, and the guitar has an unmistakable look.

absolutely, no disagreement there whatsoever although the look is easily replicable

id be interested to see the price compared to similar models though

£501, the look would be easy just think they've gave a Sig to some one deserving... unlike say Gibson Chris Cornell 335, not a guitar I would particularly associate with the man.

well if that's mexico or mij then fair play. that's not the inflated price i was expecting at all.

Good to see Fender paying Wilco some respect while he's still with us.

i didn't look at the specs, but if its not a fucking 9.5 radius, i think i found the telecaster i've been looking for..

if it is.. guess i need to keep looking.

He got the specs right:

a 7.25�-radius rosewood fingerboard with 21 vintage-style frets

I think it's fine to use it in the context of actually swaggering ie. strutting like a sexy boastful pirate.

Swagger is a centuries-old term.

Straw boating hats in the day, top hats at night. Nothing else is acceptable.

Also swagger is a legit term. Swag is (as near as I can tell) some form of STD running rampant in youth culture.

I'm an advocate of the crisp white panama myself... cuts quite a dash.
