But his green telecaster was awesome at the end of last tour.I just bought a guitar guys..! I saw it in the store on the shelf. It was like seeing a traffic jam full of silver, black, white, dark red and dark blue cars, and then all of the sudden you see one car that totally stands out. I went over to try it, it was a telecaster, and as a rule of thumb I never look at the make of a fender before I try it out (whether it's mexican, highway 1, american, etc.) because I feel once you know what it is you already have some sort of bias towards it. So I started playing this thing and immediately said "Wow this thing kicks ass! It plays and sounds perfect!" I played it for about an hour, then finally looked at the make and the price tag, and it's a Mexican made Telecaster in "Lake Placid Blue" colour. I was blown away by the playability of this guitar, being mexican. I've tried mexican teles and strats in the past (used to own a mexican strat) and they didn't play very well in comparison to the americans, but this tele plays better then most americans I've played.
I guess when you hear those guys say "With Fender, it's almost like there's 50 strats on a wall, but only one of them is great". Maybe that holds true with this tele, I dunno, either way it's awesome. Went back the next day and bought it after playing it more. I'll take pictures soon, after putting a pearloid pickguard on it, because I think that would make it look even more awesome.
