You'll hear a lot about vintage guitars and how great they are. The impression given is that a guitar is great because its old. This is not true. I've had many old guitars and many were not great at all. You'll hear that a telecaster should be light or that it should be heavy. You'll often hear about wood and pickups and their originality. But none of that really matters once you own it. All that counts is whether or not its great. and My guitar is not the lightest, it s about 7 pounds which is pretty average for an old tele. Its a body only refinish. Everything else is original. So its not the MOST collectable but still nice to own. But that really counts is that this guitar is one i can't set down. I just love playing it. Its an inspiring guitar that makes me play things I don't play on other guitars. If you've only one guitar in the world. Make it your mission to find a guitar that makes you feel like that and don't ever part with it!!!

Mine is another one made by my father it has mexi pickups, and Fender locking tuners and it is one of my favorites
