« Fender Telecaster Plus »

Bought this seet heart from a local music store where it was on consignment. I played it once and was sold. I had never owned a Tele ( county stigma) but this one was different. Paid 700.00

This Tele Plus a 96 model has 3 Gold Laces in it. a 5 way switch and has a mini toggle switch also for tons of combiinations. Not your Dad's Tele! I can get the classic Tele twang with no effort but ehat impressed me is I can get a Texa Strat sound out of the neck and middle pickup. so it's two..two guitars in one. A TelStratocaster! The finish is awesome. Mines a crimson burst with maple neck and board with a pearloid pickguard. My first look at it was "no way" I play mostly Gibsons. I'm glad I decided to test drive it. One of those zen type things where the guitar fits your hand like a glove and "speaks" to you. I love it. It is presently my #3 behind a Baker B1 which is the best guitar made, and my 68 Gibson ES335 Custom. I love the way the ash wood shows through the crimson finish.

all aspects of it are great.

Great quality. Bettr than what Fender is pumping out now I believe. all the new stuff seems like crap to me.

If you run across a used one in good shape..give it a demo..maybe you will be surprised and join the Tele owners club!
