New TV or new guitar? A modern man's conundrum.

[FenderPusher]

I'm moving out in the spring, getting my own apartment (no more roommate!). I'll leave it to you to decide which I should buy, since I don't need either and they both cost around the same price. New Vizio 42" LCD TV or used Fender American Telecaster in 3-tone sunburst: which shall it be?

OR

 

[Chihlidog]

I was gonna say guitar till I saw it would be a tele. Go with the TV. AOK

 

[Denverdave]

I'd say a Tele. But get a Benford Tele and save some $$.

 

[platypus]

get the tv! you can make a tele for cheaper than that chears

I wish he made a non-quilted 3-tone sunburst.

I can make an American Telecaster cheaper than $700? ???

 

[platypus]

depends on who makes it for you tongue0

 

[Prages]

Get the TV and watch concerts of guys playing teles.

Win/win.

 

[Mrs.P]

Get the tv. Women can come over and watch it in your new apartment or buy an acoustic and you can play it softly in your new apartment to make women all hot for you. It worked for Prages

 

[Prages]

It worked for Prages

I should clarify that it worked for Prages at first.

Now Mrs. P hates my guitars with a passion. In fact, she rues the day that she let me have my own music room.

Do you already have a nice guitar?

Do you already have a nice guitar?

Not really.

I probably should start looking for one.
















Or were you talking to FenderPusher?

I have an american strat, gibby lp double cut, epiphone dot w/ '57s and a Martin acoustic. But I don't have a tele.

I would go with a Kitchen Aide stand mixer, some kick ass pans and a good chefs knife personally.

but I haz a Tele and I really don't watch much TV.

I do eat though. EVERY FREAKING DAY. cop0

I had a Lite Ash Tele for a couple of years. Didn't really play it much, although it did sound great for some of the recording I do. I didn't really enjoy gigging with it though, and it ended up only getting used very occasionally, so I sold it.

I vote TV then

I owned a '72 Tele deluxe reissue, which isn't really a Tele due to its shitty humfucker pickups. I've been gassing for one since my buddy got his upgraded with Texas specials and it's the best sounding guitar my amp has experienced.

 

[platypus]

I built a warmoth thinline tele and put texas specials in it

here's the only clip I have with it http://soundclick.com/share?songid=6545752

you can get tele's for less than fender charges, and better too imho

What was the total cost, pickups included?

 

[Mark Wein]

I agree with the Warmoth build. I'll never buy another Fender unless something dramatic happens with that company.
