    Springsteen. For the 14 years I’ve lived I have loved his music, and when i got into guitar, I wanted to be just like him. I saved up and bought a Squier Affinity Butterscotch Blonde Tele, and I will never sell it. It’s worth more than money now.

    • @blakeleesutton

      Exact same for me man. I had a hard time finding a Tele that had the same color as Bruce’s, so I eventually ended getting a body custom ordered. It’ll be here soon!

    I got , not my first guitar but my very first fender just a few days ago. I traded some guitars for it. I was looking for a squier and I made an offer to what looked like a squier. When the guy brought it over I saw it was a fender telecaster. With a Wilkinson bridge and fender noiseless pickups. I am still in disbelief that I now own a fender telecaster. I love it so much and no other guitar can sound like it

    Brill review, Degan, as always good to see someone enjoying their guitars so much! Btw everyone, check out Oliver Thompson's telecaster work on some of the Bryan Ferry live stuff from around 10 years ago, who really gets a superb sound of his tele, and is such a great guitarist .....period (as they say in the USA!), particularly considering how young he was at the time.

    LOVE the TELE! Liked the video. One point...Country, Rockabilly and Bluegrass? NO self-respecting bluegrass guitarist would strap on an electric guitar of ANY kind! Traditionally, bluegrass guitars were Martins (usually D-28s with an occasional D-18). That's changed a bit over the last 20-30 years but in the 40s, 50s and 60s Martins ruled the bluegrass world.
