Guitars anyone???

@xtcclassic That looks amazing. I played a Gretsch G6122T-62 Chet Atkins once but man they're just so damn big. Same goes for the ES-335. Telecasters are the one for comfort IMO (regardless of your opinion of Fender!)
Oh I’m a longtime Tele player, if I could only have one guitar it would be a Tele. This Gretsch thing is a fairly new thing to me. I bought my first one less than a year ago. I’ve had my Tele for 20 years or so.

@xtcclassic Never saw the update post mods.
How you getting on with it? I am looking for a new telecaster atm..

Since that pic was taken, I’ve replaced the pickups with TV Jones (Setzer bridge and Classic neck) and replaced the stock bridge with a stainless steel Tru-Arc. It sounds absolutely amazing now, it’s tied with my Tele as my number one. Never thought I’d see that happen. Here it is now:

I accidentally bought 2 guitars off eBay the other day… ::)
Hopefully, @AdamJ will buy one off me (no pressure) so I don't feel so stupid. Pics will follow but they're just a couple of Squire Telecasters as I'm looking to get back into playing and didn't want to go crazy. Plus I planning up upgrading the pickups and electronics. That is all. -
The only thing better than a Telecaster is another Telecaster.

Have been playing a Taylor acoustic for quite some time, but recently made the switch to a Fender Performer HSS Strat. Can't ask for more! I'm loving the buttery smooth playability after having played acoustic for a long time!

got neither. but you should look at a PRS silver sky

hahaha.
they do sound good don't they. a pity i've moved over to bass now. wouldn't mind a martin and co acoutic though but they're expensive. -
Anyone got a mustang or jazzmaster? I am on the fence about which to get :-\
I don’t own either but I worked in guitar stores for 18 years so I’m plenty familiar with both, and I prefer the Jazzmaster for the regular Fender scale length and IMO it has a more distinctive tone. Depends on what you’re after sound-wise.

So, I accidentally bought two because I thought the one guitar that I "won" on eBay got cancelled. It disappeared from about an hour. Then this lovely looking sunburst double-bound Tele came up for sale and i just went for it… 5 minutes later the other one reappeared. I'm far too English to make up an excuse to get out of the sale.
It's all good. I'll be able to sell it. @AdamJ said it looks nice but the pickups are garbage. As expected. May keep it and use it to upgrade and tweek. The case is pretty nice
I have a friend with a few PRS… they're really nice they just don't do it for me aesthetically... and i'm not good enough to do one justice.

@Sam pics?

@Sam Garbage was unfair of me and for sub 200$ it's plays pretty well in my view.
@xtcclassic Thanks for the info, think I am just going to have to wait out the lockdown and try a few.
