The Tele was by far the nicest guitar I ever bought and perfect out of the box. The strat needed a LOT of work, but I loved the color and the neck felt great, so I bought it on an impulse and made it into my ideal guitar. I have since replaced the 59 bridge in the photo with a white JB and it’s perfect now. I use it for everything from folk to rock to death metal (as a bedroom guitarist).
