      I started going through some of my guitars that have been in the vaults for over 8 years that needed some tender loving care. This guitar was built by hand from scratch by one man in Mesa AZ. Here is my Gutierrez Juggernaut back from the repair shop:

      Body- mahogany
      Neck- wenge (unfinished)
      Fretboard- cocabola
      Headstock- cocabola cap
      Pickups- Barenuckle Miracle Man
      Tuners- Sperzel locking

            Starting small. I started playing a month ago to make the most of pandemic time. I’m kicking myself that I didn’t start 20 years ago. Here is my acoustic, but I’m on the hunt for a lefty Tele. I absolutely love the minimal nature of the butterscotch blonde. I think it will help me focus on learning since I can play in silent mode with headphones.

              Tele’s are great @summ3rhays for such a simple guitar they are extremely versatile as far as what styles of music they work for.

                I wish I started with such a nice guitar @summ3rhays !
                Lefty too, my parents bought me my first guitar right handed… It was very unnatural first, now I'm glad I've got so much choice when chossing one  😉

                Price is forgotten, quality remains.

                                Anyone on here own or have experience with fender amps? Looking at picking up a silverface (or repro) such as Princeton '68 or Vibro Champ. Any better suggestions welcome!

                                The devil is in the detail..

                                    I’d kill for an original brown tolex or silverface Princeton. I used to have a 1968 Super that sounded glorious. Old Princetons are selling for crazy money now, wish I had picked one up 10 years ago.

                                      I’ve played many versions of the Fender Princeton from originals to the new ones. They’re my absolute favorite guitar amp. The $999 Fender 1965 remake version is my personal favorite. Obviously I’d love an original 1965, but with reality in mind. I think it’s the best price point. There was the ‘68 2nd reissue for a few hundred dollars less, but I think it skips out on the chorus effect and also wasn’t built as well. You can definitely buy these used and save some money. If you know how to retube and bias an amp even better. Hope you find one that you’re looking for!

                                        Also the NOS Blues Junior is a very solid amp too. It’s a 12” speaker compared to the 10” in the Princeton but it sounds great. Only 1 input and no chorus available. But it does have a cool FAT boost switch

                                          What an amazing Tele to learn on. As @xtcclassic says, Tele's are so versatile and you cannot beat the classic Blackguard Butterscotch Blonde.

                                          I have recently got back into playing so, today, with 3 nippers and wife all out, I plugged in 🙂
