Re: Have Played my mates 74 telecaster now I want one.
try to go with Lace pickups and a maple neck
Re: Have Played my mates 74 telecaster now I want one.
MY best suggestion is don't buy a Fender. Get a Seymour Duncan Antiquity set in that, a nice well made Maple neck, and some Goteh or Grover Tuners, and you'll be in heaven.

Its looking like I am going to build one.
I have been collecting Wilkinson parts, what does anybody think of Wilkinson.

Re: Have Played my mates 74 telecaster now I want one.
In my opinion they look dated I do very much like the sound and in Jan I could afford a Mexico. But they just look boring.
Sorry to a fend the fender purist.
I believe they have a market and won't vary from it.

Fair comment, No offence taken.

Personally, I think a Strat is one of the most beautifully designed shapes this side of a Lotus Esprit!!
But certainly no offence taken at the "Boring" opinion
Re: Have Played my mates 74 telecaster now I want one.
I would love fender to do something in a modern colour with a flame maple top. Then my bank card would be out.

I'll tell you if you really want to know. But I expect it to be received as controversial, as Fender is one of many people's "Sacred Cow's" that I'd be tipping over.
Before I do so, tell me a little bit about your background and playing as a musician, and the depth of your association with Fender products. I don't want to offend people, needlessly.

Actually I really don't think I need to know, because you are spouting crap, I've never known anyone in my 61yrs, who's done so much, knows so much, met so many famous people, knows so much about everything, and can not only do everything, but can do it better than anyone else, And as for my background, you really wouldn't want to know, I've enjoyed my time on this forum, and have chatted with some good and friendly fellow musicians, but this is where I sign out.

Re: Have Played my mates 74 telecaster now I want one.
Alun I hope that your signing out is meant as temporary as if not it would be a disaster as you would certainly be missed!
Re: Have Played my mates 74 telecaster now I want one.
I have already sent him a PM. Hope the sane as you.

And, on my part I apologize for any offense I have caused this user. I can only hope that he returns and allows me the opportunity to mend fences with him, as I think he's got me all wrong...
