telecaster help

i have probably up to 500 euro to spend on a fenbder tele. what is the best model to go for would ya say? thanks.

Karl Hungus

I'd say this one.

If it's as good as it's Strat counterpart, you're onto a winner there.

A few folks here have bought the Lite Ash Strat and given it excellent reviews, so I'm guessing the Lite Ash Tele would be worth a gander.

Get with the good prices and colour options Hungus!!! :v: :v:

If you can stretch your budget a bit this has just appeared on www.chrisguitars.com for $499 (but add $100 shipping and import duty onto it).

What? Natural for the winners, and Thomann's shipping is a mere €20 flat rate, where as Guitar Bargains charge the full UPS going rate, which is about €60.

That ain't no tele Doc. It's all wrong.

You might also like to check out the Fender Japan offerings. They tend to run at around 600euro-ish shipped and taxed from Japan and might be a step above the Lite Ash Tele, which is still very nice mind you.

Which means the Thomann one will cost the same as the guitarbargains one...

Oh, except you might actually recieve it if it's sent by UPS

Great finish.:p

The Highway 1 teles are brilliant for their price, we've bought two in the last year and they're as good as any of the jap models I've played. It's american too, so you can say you own an american tele if you're into that. I think they're 615 from thomann but definitely worth it.
