Best electric guitar choice...

Nice sound from that tele! Could listen all day to that tone.

As long as they're still making the 5400-Series E-matics in Korea - and all the holiday sales are still in effect - there's no day like this day if you have the money today...

I am finding my HSS configuration to be very versatile.

Reverend guitars makes a few versatile models… one is the Crosscut, another is the Double Agent.

Quality is the best I’ve ever seen in a new guitar.

Used they are especially an amazing value… as they don’t sell as quickly as used Gibson, Fender, or Gretsch. I know this, as someone who has tried to sell a Reverend.

I was going to mention Reverend. Their bass contour control adds a level of versatility that is fantastic. Great value.

You just can't beat a tele.

Simply gorgeous.

Cool - thanks for all of the advice.
Hadn't considered Gretsch and had not heard of Reverend guitars.
Definitely gives me some food for thought...

Very nice hands mr. beaumont, you are drawing a beautiful sound out of that Tele!

A Tele bridge pup can be fat too... or anything you can dream of.

Beautiful. Shades of Ted Greene...

when I made the transition back into electric guitars, I bought a full sized archtop with 2 pickups. I wanted something that felt the same as an acoustic but gave me electric sounds. Keep trying things out until you find what you like.
