I recently swapped my Kenny Hill New World Classical Guitar for a friend’s B Bender Tele for an extended period of time. He hadn’t played it in ages and the frets were green with collected shmutz. It took over an hour to get it off using 0000 steel wool and my thumbnail to loosen the crud.
After I put strings on I noticed the neck needs a truss rod adjustment. Plugging it in to my Victoria Tweed Deluxe for band practice, I got the classic Tele Twang, only to discover the nut slot for the high E was shallow as the string kept popping out.
The band loved the tone, but I put it down and switched to the Brondel Strat with a Tele pickup and bridge frame assembly. It was close, but no cigar.
Tele is the way to go.
