Tim- I love the Marriott.
*An Official Foo-Approved guitarist since Sept 2023.
I can't justify the expense though and would need to move a guitar or two on first, which is not really possible as just about all my guitars are partscaster builds... Oh well...
I do have a set of Bill Lawrence pickups in need of a home, so it looks like I need another Tele...
British Racing Green?
I sold my favourite on here when I was deep in the Jazzmaster love though and it's upsetting and I'll never get it back, so I'm off to cry for a bit. Bye.
The black one is a great guitar.
The sunburst one has the most ridiculous neck pickup I've ever heard (in a good way)
Last time I saw the tablecaster I think it had a line 6 neck.
Not sure I've played the green one but I recall you making it.
That last one needs a Floyd rose and a set of duncan invaders. Ideally played through a metal zone into a peavey 5150. Tuned to drop C
I'm sure you'd love that @impmann
It's not hard to find a good one at all in my experience.
Most well put together and well et-up partscasters will be pretty great Teles.
Simple high quality ingredients carefully assembled will usually be fab.
Just like a good pasta sauce.
What you WANT and EXPECT from a guitar may mean that a regular Tele is not a good fit for you without adapting. That's different from it not being good. A relatively weak 60s vintage spec bridge pickup, for example, is not going to compare sonically with a chunky Les Paul tone when compared directly with the same settings, at least not without some additional boost help and turning down the tone pot.
IMO, the thinner affinity body is great and sounds as ' teleish' as any I've heard
And yet... that string tree & 'B' string alignment would always annoy me
