Diesel Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 Hi,My band are adding several golden-era Stones songs to the set list, therefore I need a Telecaster - it's the law.Playability and tone (it's not ALL in the fingers) important, cosmetics not Pm me if you have one for sale.

Bigsby Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Lovely guitar - just a bit out of my budget range at the moment Surley worth trying to find the money! Much better buy than an American Standard at 500 or whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyEB Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Surley worth trying to find the money! Much better buy than an American Standard at 500 or whatever.If it's just for the occasional song and you don't want to spend a lot the Squier Vintage Vibe 50s Telecaster would be worth a look. I got one as a spare for my beloved American Deluxe Ash and it did a splendid job at a recent gig. What sort of neck radius do you prefer? The 52 reissue is 7.25 and the Vintage Vibes are 9.5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diesel Posted February 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 nice guitar ... my ones better though !How can you qualify that statement when you've not actually played the '52 in question. Fannybaws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 52 reissue is 7.25 and the Vintage Vibes are 9.5Hi Mikey - thanks for the advice. Funnily enough, I was trying out amps in R&B a while back..James (HateEvent) who works there handed me a Tele to try that played and sounded great - probably better than the USA Standard I had at the time. I was shocked to discover that it was a 139 Squier.Usually, price reflects quality, but occasionally you uncover a wee gem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsby Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 I played a Squier Classic Vibe Custom in a shop in Edinburgh a while back that was fantastic, much better than the US Standard I used to own.The price of the Squires is creeping up too though, I was in R&B on Saturday and they had a Classic Vibe priced at 379, ouch!

I did put in some Vintage Noiseless pickups as those are very useful for the band I play in but the stock ones were perfectly good for normal applications. That made it about 345, which was still pretty good.Squier Classic Vibe 50s Telecaster Electric Guitar (Maple) Vintage Blonde from Strings Direct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have serious Telecaster love though, I've also got a lovely sonic blue Gordon Smith Tele thinline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsby Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 I know you can haggle and all that but a 379 price tag on a Squier still made me wince. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
