About 2 years ago I decided to move from acoustic to electric guitars, just to stretch my playing ability's. When I first started looking I was really after a Gibson Les Paul because at the time it was my absoloute dream guitar. However I stumbled across a tele and no matter how hard I tried, I could not convince myself that this guitar was not 100 times better than a Les paul.

From the first moment it was plugged into the amp it gave that dull twang and every strum was like recreating 70's Rock And Roll. This guitar gives the best clean sound of anything I have ever heard, even a novice can make this guitar sound just like most mainstream music. Not only that but its very versatile, being able to play not only clean stuff but with the correct effects this guitar can sound like a Jackson or a B C Rich, and can happily replicate the sound of bands such as system of a down.

I would just like to point out, however, that this is not a light piece of equipment and can be quite painful on your shoulder after a while if you don't buy the correct strap, so be warned. Furthermore it's not the cheapest guitar either. I bought mine second hand and even then it was £650, but by god is it worth it.

After purchasing this guitar I don't think i could ever live without having a telecaster as part of my guitar collection, as it is just my pride and joy. I would strongly recommend them to anyone looking to buy a guitar, as the sound the comes from this axe will blow everyone else's gibson's and epiphones out of the water.

And lets be honest, it's beautiful, absoloutly beautiful.
