Hello, you looking for some advice for a new purchase? or just gabbin, If you can't spend a lot of money the lower line Fender stuff is not that bad, A friend bought a Mexican Tele and it plays great for under $500..........I have an ES335 it's only 5 yrs old but it's a monster, Custom Shop Relic Strat and it feels just like a 60's era.......I need a good Tele........ and I have my old guitar from my teenage yrs, a Paul Reed Smith, one of the early models. It has a great tremelo floating bridge. Oh, I've been playing a Brian May model, (the guy from Queen) it's a burns, I love his sound. I use vox amps too. I had a 64' AC-30 coppertop and it got stolen but that's alright, there's hundreds out there looking for a new owner.
