At long last = NGD
Having already acquired my 3 keeper acoustic guitars, from before I joined AGF
There have been only 2 new guitars , resulting from getting back into electric after some 47 years of acoustic only. Due in no small part to this Electric forum not sure wether it's or 4 years ago come November I got a PRS CE 24...Humbuckers w/split coil Yesterday I took delivery of a new old stock ....2017 Fender Limited Edition, Malaysian Blackwood Telecaster w/ Fenders (made for this edition) J- P 90s I have for a couple years been vacillating back and forth between Tele and Strat styles but have also been intrigued with P 90's,,, last week I stumbled across this guitar on Reverb. Called the seller and came to a deal, BTW, I highly recommend (Hugo Helmer Music,,,, Burlington,Washington) I found them reasonable informative and low key. And the guitar is exactly as advertised brand new old stock.. Specifications:Body - Alder with Malaysian Blackwood Top..Neck - Figured Maple Modern Deep C Fingerboard - 9.5" radius neck , 22 Frets - 25.5" scale.- String through the body, custom short cut tele bridge plate , with compensated brass saddles. Pickguard - 1 ply black anodized aluminum, Pick-ups - JP90 (single coil) bridge and neckPickup. Switching - 3-way blade switching, Pos. 1 Bridge Pos. 2 Bridge and Neck Pos. 3 NeckControls - Volume and Tone with Hardshell molded case Because of the lighting in my room the color comes across with a slightly more orange cast than in real life I will follow up here with a review

Sweet - has the rosewood Tele look without (I assume) the weight...
Should sound great through that Supro mini-stack... Use it well, often, and LOUD...

Kev - Congrats! What a beautiful and unique looking Tele. Looking forward to your thoughts on the P90s (or J-P90s)

Yess!!
Wow, that Blackwood makes an impressive cap for your tele! I think you'll find p90s very versatile. Roll back the volume for beautiful cleans or open it up for some real snarl. They really push overdrive fantastically. Congratulations!

Oh, man, those are SOOOOO nice. I came really close to buying one of those a couple years ago, but I couldn't justify the cost. I'm kind of glad I didn't because I've determined I somewhat prefer P-90s in a Gibson type solid-body (having owned P90 teles, semi-hollows, full hollows, etc. So now my P90 axe is a $400 Epiphone SG, which I love. Maybe because my main electric is and always has been a strat, so a Gibson scale length and neck for my P90 fix gives me a little more variety.
But those blackwood teles were very high on my radar for a good while and I came REALLY close to pulling the trigger on one. Congratulations and enjoy it! -Ray

Thanks, I have not tried the Rosewood one,,,, and living where I do plus the covid thing, may be a good long while before I get to any guitar stores . Black hardware ? that's a thought.

What clinched it for me was the seller was eager to get it moved, and came down significantly on the price
