NGD: My first ever Tele

What's Hot

Just got a blonde Baja Telecaster off a friend who is having a clearout.

Have really liked this guitar since she bought it, and I got it at a bargain price!!!

Lucky me, gonna be busy for a while now.

    Been looking at these uses  myself, but put off by their rep for being heavy. How is yours weight wise?

  • There are only 2 types of guitarist. Those who like telecasters and those who don't realise they like them :-)
    Took me 25 years to realise it.
    Happy NGD.

  • @up That's true - as a ''youngsta'' I've always wondered - Teles? Really? Why? Ugly, old fashioned, single coils etc.

    Over the years my taste changed, old blues kicked in and so on. Before my 28th birthday I decided to treat myself with a guitar and it was indeed Baja Tele. And a keeper it is :)

    Oddly - my Baja is actually the lightest of all the guitars I've ever had (slightly below 8lbs) - resonates ok, finished very well (apart from some fretwork) so ''heavy'' isn't the case with mine.

    Happy NGD and enjoy mate! I think having a tele is important for most of the guitarists, even if it's not Your main guitar.

    Nice. I'm betting you got it for less than 350 if it was a bargain ;-)
