I have an itch for a Tele

Vinylfan

What are these Vintera ones all about? How do they stack up against the Baja ones that you guys are raving about?

Now sorted - picked up a Player Tele in Tidepool today.  Not allowed to use it properly till later in the week as its a birthday present.  Had a quick go and really like it!  Never played a tele before and it sounds so mellow and the neck feel really thin.  Might just be early impressions that will change over time.
Appreciate all the help and advice.  Will sort out a picture of it soon...

You will love it, nice choice. Since getting my Tele my other guitars don’t get a look in.

That's what I'm afraid of!  The Strat was a present for a significant birthday and I do love it, but the sounds that came out of that Tele...good thing I put it back in its case for now.

My two go-to guitars are my Strat and my Tele. To my mind they're very different beasts and I enjoy owning both - the Strat is more slinky and has a softer attack. The Tele is more percussive and direct.

Baja's are great, I have one, but much prefer my G&L Asat. It's the bluesboy 90 version. Sublime. It's a USA made guitar and as no one looks at them second hand I managed to pick it up for under £500 from a music shop. When it comes to it I barely touch my Les Paul as the Asat is so good. It's in a different league to the Baja. If you can find a G&L do it, you won't regret it!

the shell pink baja teles that were knocking round a year ago were beautiful, don't see any second hand though
