That sounds sweet! I've been playing my tele a lot more lately, I don't know what it is.

I own one of these: <img src="http://www.hohnerusa.com/upload/bildpoolcms/gal00000191kl.jpg">
If you shout at me, I'll be persuaded that it sounds rubbish but my goodness... just look at it.

- Ug. Hate steinbergers.TheBlueOne
- I only said cool because it reminds me of the electric mandolin from "Flight of the Conchords"Jaline
- Oh, they're cool looking. And an interesting bit of tech, but ug, hate them.TheBlueOne
- I own one, it's very weird... my hands falls off the fretboard a lot where the head should be,jfletcher

The other guitarist in my band just got his Mexican tele back from some custom work, with some awesome additions.
1) Humbucker in the neck spot.
2) Danelectro lipstick pickup in the middle position3) normal tele bridge pickup
4) 5 way switch instead of usual 3 way
5) Bigsby tremeloTalk about a tone monster. He played it at a show we had a few weeks ago, it was just great.
- tele with a bigsby... pretty cool. not to mention the pickups and 5-wayOnesandZeros

I had this really long post typed up but then decided that nobody here wants to read that much, so I'll keep it short n sweet: Stratocaster shape (superstrats OK), 25.5" scale, no middle pickup. Anything else is either unique to your body or wildly un-ergonomic.
- But I do like a middle pickup, if it's wired correctly and you have a five way switch...TheBlueOne

ismith speaks the truth. i have an Explorer copy which, while it looks cool, is nearly impossible to play sitting down. Same thing goes for flying V's, reverse or not

- Jaguar is next on my shopping list.TedUmptious
- yummm...that's the first one I'd buy.Jaline
- I love Jags, but they play like shit, get a new bridge as soon as you get itJamesBoynton
- may Jaguars always remain my first love in guitarsGORADIO
- i have one... really nice but yes the bridge sucks big time... waiting for a new one...joqui

the reverse flying V was created for obvious reasons. It's shaped like an arrow so one can play it and point it at groupies in the crowd while firing off a bad ass riff.
