so today and yesterday i went out to try some tele's. i've had my eye on a usa standard in natural with rosewood board. but whilst there i tried the squire, a baja, standard mexi and couple of other usa standards. the usa natural was by far the best of the bunch and it was as light as a feather and had bucket loads of spank. now the dilema's i have are, the natural i tried is a bit of a plane jane as looks go but they have a really grainy gnarlier looking one in another branch. do i buy it without trying it? secondly, its a bloody standard Tele and its 1200 quid FFS.
And thirdly if i do buy it, its only gonna be worth £700 tops by next week.
errrm, is any one selling a usa standard in natural with rosewood board by any chance?
what ya reckon folks!

On a good day. Is this the one with the belly cut ?
Not for you, as you want a RW board, but my ash natural tele is highly figured, but with maple board. But it weighs a fair bit...
If it were me though I'd build one at least as good for half the price and buy a used Deluxe Reverb or something with the change.
This is mine..
You can't put the wood back they carved out, but you can fit a three saddle bridge
