NGD! - Fender Cabronita Tele

1neeto · #1 08-28-2012, 10:46 AM

Finally got me my first tele! 100% impulse buy but who needs an excuse to buy a new guitar? It was a killer deal at just about $500 out the door with a gig bag (over $100 off street price). Now if now I can convince the missus that I must have that Blues jr!

Ok enough babbling, here's some pics!

Nice! Is that MIM? Certainly seems like a great price!

Yes it's MIM, the craftsmanship is amazing and those pickups sound very nice. Tele twang with a punch!

Nice! Congrats! Wait until you hear it though your Blues Jr...... One of my all time favorite amps.

JR

Very nice, lots of luck. Are those pickups like Gretsch pickups?

Thanks!
That amp will have to wait for a while, but I plan on eventually getting it!

Thanks!
Yes, they're a version of the Gretsch Filtertrons. Fender calls them "Fidelitrons".

This is a sweet looking guitar. I recently looked at an American version and was very impressed.-- Darwin
