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

    I'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).

  • 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.

  • Like the look of that yamaha actually.

    Ended up getting a Mexican telecaster, double humbucker.

    Need to see how I get in with electric before committing to anything too fancy.
