D3adstar Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Yeah, I like them because they're... er, different They're all japan exclusives apparently. You could PROBABLY get the same thing in the US, but it would probably be through the custom shop and cost $5000 more...and have a relic'd finish by default Always liked this one. Enough to refinish a standard one and mod it up to be similar http://www.fenderjapan.co.jp/tl62b-bigs.html needs filtertrons though Yeh only ever played one custom shop strat, it was this ice blue (I think) heavy relic, sounded great, played brilliant and looked awesome ...although the price tag was a little stupid, plus the shop seemed really awkward and the guy in the shop must of thought I was going to do a hendrix and smash it up in front of him because he only let me play for what seemed like a minute Awesome have you still got the tele?

I've only really played CS teles - they were nice guitars, very well built and sounded great, but didn't seem like anything particularly special. just a glorified US fender I guess. Although I've mainly played the non relic'd ones like the custom classic or whatever it was called, which are in the $2000 range and yeah I do - it's a pretty cool guitar. was expecting it to sound a little like the gretsch I had (see below ) but it doesn't at all wouldn't mind one of those again someday ... #soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
