It's official - my new favorite guitar EDIT - now twice as nice!

[smurfco]

So I've had my 1992 Tele Plus for a few months now, and after replacing the stock saddles (whose height adjustment screws had become rusted into place after 20+ years) with the direct Fender replacements, I think I can safely claim that this is my new favorite guitar. I just love everything about it - the way it feels, sounds, plays, the weight... I really click with this one like I haven't with a guitar in a while. I loved it even before the saddle swap but now that I am able to get the setup dialed in perfectly it's just like butter.

Yeah yeah cue the "three weeks" jokes but I am seriously in love with this guitar.

Boing!

Nice. I really like the rosewood tele though.

I think you need something in a nice candy apple red or lake placid blue to brighten up your tele display!

 

[sleewell]

Yeah, but do you have any Teles?

Next step: Traditional 3-saddle or Gotoh 6-saddle on the rosewood Tele. I freakin' adore that guitar but those chintzy 6-saddle things are an abomination.

Really? The pics I have seen of Georges have 3 saddles. So do the Fender GH tributes.

I have no idea. The guitar plays nice and there's no reason to change them.

A true beatles aficionado would be aghast. How does smurfco sleep at night?

Probably blocks his view of those abominable saddles. Makes sense.

Cool! Now you just need some P90 flavor in there too.
