Default NGD: scratched my Tele itch

Haven’t owned an electric in a decade or so, never owned a nice one. I’ve been eyeballing this MF/GC special run, rosewood neck American Professional Telecaster. Only played it unplugged so far, but it feels better than any electric I’ve ever played and different music is coming out than has come out on any of my acoustics.

Sweet! Congrats on the new Tele! I love the neck!

Everyone should play electrics unplugged before buying! Even a pair of planks like a Tele or a Strat should have a certain feel, even resonance, to indicate that it will be a good one

Gotta pull my amp out of storage and get new strings on the tele first. I’ll give it a run through today. Hope I remember how this works. The cord goes from the guitar to the amp, right?

Wow! That rosewood neck is stunning! Congratulations! I'll bet it will sound like a million bucks plugged in.

Beautiful! Massive score, congratulations. It may take a while to get back into electric but it brings a lot of sonic power to the table.

Alright, plugged her up to my little VHT Special 6 6W tube amp. She is a keeper. I’m in love.

Congrats on the great score. Looks like either Surf Green or Seafoam, two of my favorites.

What are the acoustic guitars that go in the two cases on the left? I'm not familiar with that color of case.
