Personal taste can be frustrating sometimes :O)

I've found something I think I can live with

First up, I bought this one ages ago but have never been completely happy with it as it's a bit too tinted for my liking (particularly the neck), though it is in pretty good condition and is one of the lightest Teles I have.

So I've bought this one to see if I like it more, and maybe sell the first one.

When I'm playing it I can't even see the decals.

Also my go to position on the Tyler headstock debate!

I like the Tyler headstock  

If I had a Tyler I'd play it in the mirror so I could see the headstock.

Here's another example - it's way flashier than a Telecaster ought to be, but as something fancy as a centrepiece of a collection I wouldn't hate to own it.

However, I don't like the cutaway and the colour of the back is horrible to me.

The good thing is it saves me spending nearly £2.5k on a Telecaster - I could buy at least four Player Teles for that  

That top would set me twitching much more than a decal… there’s something about a fancy top on a Tele that just looks so wrong. Whereas I really like the guitar in the OP’s post, great colour and the bound edge body equals….noice!

Mildly annoyed update:

I paid late on the 4th, and there's been a weekend in the middle, but so far I've heard nothing from the seller Gas Station Guitars - hopefully I'll be able to post a happier update soon.
