af_one,

Check the Tele sounds at the Kinman link, these are what's used in Prince's Tele.

Scott,

What an exquisite example of a true classic. The Swamp Ash Tele is one of the must haves for any fine collection and that one is an absolute cracker.

How cool, that is two nice tele's in as many days. Did you happen to see Brock's stunning mahogany bubinga and gold hardware example the other day? What a beauty that is too.

Cheers

Kim

Is that a 52'Reissue ?

James, the pick-ups are listed as Fender Vintage. I've heard this is a true reproduction of the 52, even has the orginal wiring and and upgrade kit with it--also has the additional 6 barrel brass saddle, but comes with the vintage 3 installed.

Dave, its listed as a true 52 reissue--sopposed to be an exact repro down to the pots and wiring.

I'm very excited about this one. However, I am still going to do a custom Tele in the near future, or have one built--with more modern features--this is my Cash/Luther guitar.
