Somewhat different to a tele - they’re more of a Gibson style and actually kind of close to the Gretsch 6128, ie mahogany with maple top, humbuckers etc - but these are really nice guitars IMO. There’s also a filtertron style version around the same money in a few colours and a black one with P90s.

I like the look of that Vintera Tele in white blonde, I'm biased though, my Tele is either white blonde or honey blonde and (fun fact) it had a Bigsby installed once upon a time (not by me), and removed (also not by me), so it has some really ugly filled holes in the body behind the bridge.

Used Fender Player Series Telecaster (or any used Telecaster really) and a Boss Katana would be my choice, perhaps a Katana Air if for home use only...
Edit: I see I've missed the boat on this, pics of Tele please!

've always wanted a telecaster or a gretcsh with a bigsby. What's the general feeling on the sweet spot in terms of performance / value for an intermediate like me?
Looking at about £900 tops with a practice size amp. (Probably a Crush 12).
Just seen a lovely white US Tele with a Bigsby for £650 on FB Marketplace. Will try and dig the link out.

After years of acoustic only, I'm finally ready to start picking up the electric.
