@xtcclassic Never saw the update post mods.
How you getting on with it? I am looking for a new telecaster atm..

Since that pic was taken, I’ve replaced the pickups with TV Jones (Setzer bridge and Classic neck) and replaced the stock bridge with a stainless steel Tru-Arc. It sounds absolutely amazing now, it’s tied with my Tele as my number one. Never thought I’d see that happen. Here it is now:

I accidentally bought 2 guitars off eBay the other day… ::)
Hopefully, @AdamJ will buy one off me (no pressure) so I don't feel so stupid. Pics will follow but they're just a couple of Squire Telecasters as I'm looking to get back into playing and didn't want to go crazy. Plus I planning up upgrading the pickups and electronics. That is all. -
The only thing better than a Telecaster is another Telecaster.

Have been playing a Taylor acoustic for quite some time, but recently made the switch to a Fender Performer HSS Strat. Can't ask for more! I'm loving the buttery smooth playability after having played acoustic for a long time!

got neither. but you should look at a PRS silver sky
-
hahaha.
they do sound good don't they. a pity i've moved over to bass now. wouldn't mind a martin and co acoutic though but they're expensive. -
Anyone got a mustang or jazzmaster? I am on the fence about which to get :-\
I don’t own either but I worked in guitar stores for 18 years so I’m plenty familiar with both, and I prefer the Jazzmaster for the regular Fender scale length and IMO it has a more distinctive tone. Depends on what you’re after sound-wise.

So, I accidentally bought two because I thought the one guitar that I "won" on eBay got cancelled. It disappeared from about an hour. Then this lovely looking sunburst double-bound Tele came up for sale and i just went for it… 5 minutes later the other one reappeared. I'm far too English to make up an excuse to get out of the sale.
It's all good. I'll be able to sell it. @AdamJ said it looks nice but the pickups are garbage. As expected. May keep it and use it to upgrade and tweek. The case is pretty nice
I have a friend with a few PRS… they're really nice they just don't do it for me aesthetically... and i'm not good enough to do one justice.

@Sam pics?

@Sam Garbage was unfair of me and for sub 200$ it's plays pretty well in my view.
@xtcclassic Thanks for the info, think I am just going to have to wait out the lockdown and try a few.

Here it is @xtcclassic
Planning on giving it a good clean soon. Then I'll start to upgrade as and when. The 3rd position seems a little loose. I get a bit of crackle when moving it in and out of 3rd. I think upgrading the electrics will be my first job. I'm pretty happy with the sound as it is. The humbucker is nice and buttery and sounds really nice with reverb.
If anyone has any advice on preamps and compression pedals then I'll be all ears. I'm not really sure where to begin or if I even need one from the type of music I'll no doubt be making… droning ambient noise.
