I feel all weird being in this forum, but hey I'm gonna ask a question anyway.
Dear Sean,
I'm gonna buy myself a Fender Telecaster while we're in the States and while I know you, Conall, Ciaran and many more knowlegable guitar buffs will no doubt be with me when I purchase, I was just looking for some pointers.
I had a quick look on the Fender site and quite like the Telecaster Custom. But I know fuck all about guitars and shit so maybe you could steer me in the right direction as in what might be right for me etc.
We might introduce a second guitar into the MGS set up inthe future and I figure a more high end sounding guitar like the telecaster would compliment Conall's mid/low end schecter tones.
What say you? Thanks dude.

check out G&L guitars as well as Fender.
the 'L' in G&L is actually for Leo Fender (original inventor of the electric guitar) who started G&L after leaving (or being bought out of... I dunno) his own company.
they're every bit as good - maybe even better- than Fender guitars.

Well I'll have a look but I really have my mind set on a Telecaster. Have always wanted one tbh.

If you don't want to spend the full price, I think Fender have started making Strat Telecasters. Although, I saw one for $800 compared to €1500 at home, so they are a lot cheaper

Saw a few quotes for guitars in the ASAT range for about $600. That's pretty damn good. Sure I'll see what the story is when we get to the states.
