Just picked this up from a tiny shop in Aberystwyth whilst on a trip for an old band reunion. Don't usually like Fenders (I did have a 'normal' Tele for a bit, but it wasn't my thing so I sold it), but I do really like the Tele shape, and in particular souped-up Teles with terms and humbuckers
(Like the Kramer Tele thing Mick Mars used when Crue played their big gig in Moscow). Never seen one of these before - it's a Contemporary Tele made sometime between 1984-87 in Japan, and it plays great:

Well, that looks like a lot of fun!

I thoroughly approve
and just for your pleasure and because you appreciate Mick Mars' here's my "contemporary" Tele. Made ostensibly because I needed something to put my favourite old Kramer neck on.

you win, that's great. Mine definitely needs a pointy headstock to complete it, and I love the Kramer headstock and logo
