Why Am I So Obsessed With Telecasters?

Yep, Ben rules. I dig the Comets On Fire stuff a bit more, though.

try listening to Shelter From The Ash and The Sun Awakens for the more electric Six Organs material. some of my favorite music right there,

Nice cross between a Tele and a LP Jr.

[kosta]

Right???? Thing felt and sounded amazing. Last thing I need is more GAS.

[Chankgeez]

What's that one gonna run you, kosta, 9 or 10 grand?

Look what I found:

Those Fano's are about $2500, and worth every penny in my opinion. I played a Nash Tele Deluxe (not thinline, but regular solid body) earlier this year, and that is definitely the nicest "Tele" I've ever played. The one I played had Lollar WRHB's in it, and they just sang. One of those guitars that's just hard to put down. Plus, it was just so damn foxy.

hhhhgggggggiiinnnnnnnnnnn ^

Indeed my friend, indeed. Doubly so when played through whatever killer Mesa Boogie they set me up with at the store. Makes a good man do bad things.

[sylnau]

They have one at Prymaye....

I would love to have one of those.

[kosta]

Always good to have a goal! Also, I am loving that burst on that Fano you found Chankgeez!!!

Saw these guys with Dead Meadow. Blew me away. Had a crazy custom tele mutant.

I haven't even sold my ASAT yet, but I'm already thinking about what sort of tele to buy in six months or so when my finances have recovered.

Speaking of Nash, I played this one yesterday:

It played and sounded really nice, and I'm a sucker for pink guitars. But I don't think I could shell out that kind of money for a reliced guitar, if it's a new guitar I'd rather have it all nice and shiny. I can put my own dings and scratches on it just fine, thank you.

Not that I've played one yet, but I'd strongly consider one of the newer American Vintage tele customs, still get that tele bridge pickup but I could use a guitar with a humbucker too. And I really like having separate tone/volume controls for each pickup.

Cool, I've been a big Six Organs fan for a long time, but I'd never checked out any of the Rangda stuff before. I like it.

[phantasmagorovich]

Yeah, I don't get reliced either. The only pro I can see is that you would not be so afraid to beat the shit out of that horribly expensive guitar.

Edit:

Anyone ever tried a Haar Tele? Amazing instruments from a dutch builder.
