I sold a beautiful Les Paul to help finance the new CRF
I have a Takamine a/e, a Korean made Telecaster that actually looks and plays really nice for an inexpensive Tele. and my favorite is an American Fender Telecaster. It's my favorite because I built is completely from parts purchased on Ebay. Spent about $700 for a guitar that would sell for $1,100. I put a 4 way switch in instead of the standard 3 way and Fender Noiseless pickups. It sounds and plays really great. I love this guitar.
