Having owned both, I do miss the feel of the strat, but since I'm mostly a songwriter, a telecaster offers more in tone variations when writing music for my songs.

I don't need to buy another telecaster, but my choice would be a hollow body telecaster (thinline)

what is your real meaning ?

I meant "punch"

My meaning is, I hear some pickups can keep the note sounding longer and stronger when played. I sometimes feel that is not the case with my Lace pickups. Although they are the best sounding pickups on the market default/big_smile

are those the only colours..and how long is delivery
i bought 2 batteries in 2006 and according to the tracker ther'e on the way

yep, those are the only colors

they are not really bad guitars and they sound actually pretty good over a good amp
a good setup and change the chinese strings and for 70 bucks you got a good beginners guitar
these guitars are the same ones that are boxed with amp sets that go for about 140 to 160 bucks in the states, so they really aren't junk
I've played on different brands, they probably all are made in the same factory, the only thing you got to watch out for is the frets, sometimes they extend a bit over the fretboard

I read about the garbage in Italy about a year ago, apparently they still have problems. One problem everyone is aware of is that the mafia throws dangerous stuff in the dumps and that is why everyone is fighting

Topic: food addiction (2 replies, posted in Misc)

When I read this article, I really felt it spoke the truth. I always felt food mixed with different chemicals in them made us eat more and made us addicted to them. The no fat foods I believe are a killer. You just eat and eat that crap.

I really can't read the labels here, but luckily most of what we eat is natural and not processed food, but not always though.

anyway if you have a few minutes read this article
