Ok, I have never been a Tele guy so I never really took the time to learn all about them. I have occasionally picked them up but never really like how they felt against my body. I friend of mine has a limited edition Fender Tele and it plays really good but it a double humbucker so you don't really get that tele twang if you want it.
This got me thinking about either having a custom Tele style guitar built or finding a used one that is close to having all of the wants I'm looking for. So, if I were going to have one built for the body it would have to have a forearm relief and a belly cut.
For the neck I really liked the one on the Limited edition which I believe has a 10"/15" compound radius not sure about the fret wire size but it felt really good and was easy to play. No pick guards, can't stand that look as classic as it is I just don't care for it I would much rather see a nice flame or quilted top. For the Bridge a modern style Tele bridge with individual saddles would be prefered over the classic one.
Pup's, single at the bridge and humbucker at the neck not sure what type but an Andy Summers type sound is good! The electronics... Not a big fan of classic Tele switching and knobs I would like to have them arranged in the fashion of my CT624.
If there is a Tele style out their that is close to that maybe I could overlook some of the things that I don't like for a better deal on the guitar. So based off of this list of wants maybe some of the Tele guys could sound off and point me in the right direction in where to look to fill my shopping list or find a guitar that gets close to it, it would be much appreciated !
