        I have a bad case of Fender American Professional Telecaster, GAS. Does anyone own one of these?

          I’ll take the Deluxe Shawbucker in Sonic Gray with a rosewood fretboard. Which one are you getting?
          I think Sunjamr has one with the Shawbuckers.

              Agree, I bet the one Steve has is awesome..I tried many all are great,, the thing with the original is you get the tele tone but for bedroom practice,,hummm 60cycle bugs me with any the amps..this is why i enjoy humbuckers in my small boxed rooms.. I like that strat charjo uses here,, beauitful guitar.. evey guitarist should have a tele strat,, gibsons too.. but i recent been impressed with my SH550 Carvin.. it is in my opinion a versatile tight guitar,easy to tune stays in tune plays built quality as any custom several grand guitars I played..can’t say enough but it really doesn’t do a tele or strat even gibson tone because I have them all and do notice however,it definitely plays and feels and sounds excellent,wll made is a Carvin guitar and inexpensive for how well quality it is..why i bought one! It was recommonded(best guitar for the money imho.waiting for elixir 10 opti strings for it..this Carvin is very cool/versatile the more I learn how to use it the more I like to try another Carvin.

                I own one – mystic seafoam. It is a great guitar in all respects.

                  SO, after almost 2 years, it’s NGD. I ended up with the Fender American Professional Telecaster. Looked at the Ultra but the Professional has everything I want for less money.
                  It’s well constructed. Natural finish, light, very playable neck, and great sounding pickups.
                  I haven’t even removed the film over the pick guard yet, but I’ve been playing it and really like it.
                  Rather than a picture I will post a video of EP 191. Audio may not be great because it’s a phone video. But the guitar sounds great.

                    And you mentioned you just got out of the hospital. What a very nice gift to give yourself.
                    Congrats on everything going great in your life , Richard.
                    Oh, the garlic, still got a bit left, many thanks.

                    The melody of the notes is what expresses the art of music . 🙂 6stringerPete

                    It really is all about ”melody”. The melody comes from a language from our heart. Our heart is the muscle in music harmony. The melody is the sweetness that it pumps into our musical thoughts on the fretboard. 🙂 6 stringer Pete

                      What is your feelings on G & L Fullerton Deluxe ASAT Classic, I am curious this is in essence a true Fender, since this was Leo’s design,
