Get an old Teisco for like 100 dollars - I love those things! One single coil neck pup and you're all good.
No "vibrato bar" (seriously I can't call it that

), though....

Sorry for bumping this old thread, but if I ought a Mexican Tele, I think I would be accused of copying you... I mean, We would both have M Teles, lotsa fuzz, and a band consisting of just us and a drummer...

Dude right after I bought my Tele my friend got a squier custom II, lol. Tele's are cool, not to mention you can cover "Bittersweet Bundle of Misery" with absolute accuracy.
Funny part is I traded in a Epiphone Goth Explorer to help pay for it.

Poor man's Telemaster. I like very much.
I've always wanted to get a Loïc le Pape Jaguar style guitar with a piezo installed in it as well. (

They also have a poor man's Jazzmaster:

Seems like a cool guitar, have you played it?
I prefer singles too (I play a fender am. dlx. Stratosonic with p-90s).
The humbuckers on the Blade are coil-tappable at least.
I haven't gotten my hands on one yet!
Ah, coil taps! I should've watched the video all the way through, I'll check out how they sound.

You don't have a hollowbody do you? I'd suggest a Gretsch Electromatic or if you can find it, and old Harmony Rocket:

Those new Ibanez Artcores (w/bigsbys) are pretty rad too, you'd have enough money left to get some killer pickups and maybe a coil tap installed.
