I would have used a lower case 'f' if it had been a car part.

My first thought when reading the title of the thread is that a UPS truck drove into your house.

I’m guessing you folks would have been drooling if I had posted my very early Mary Kay strat or my ‘63 Fullerton butterscotch Tele… After being in the business for 40 years I retired and closed the store and liquidated the collection 10 years ago..
OP
Just the kind of stuff that would be out of my price range but I would have loved to see them.
Let us know when you fire it up. I'm interested in the sound.
OP
I don't play except for plucking some open notes. There is a amp tech not far away in town that tested out my Japanese Tele for me. I will see if he will try this one out and maybe get a vid of it.

The judge asks, " first offender?".
No replies the woman, " first a Gibson, then a Fender."

A 10-string lap slide. What would 'standard tuning' be on that?A woman was on trial, for beating her husband, with his guitar collection.

That's the top of a ShoBud S10 Pedal Steel Guitar, with three pedals and one knee lever. Might add another knee lever.
Best is three pedals and four knee levers.
Standard Nashville tuning is E9.
B-D-E-F#-G#-B-E-G#-D#-F#
Play it thru a modded Princeton, in an Oak cabinet, with a 12" Fender speaker.
The cabinet is my seat.
No feedback issues.
Sadly no JBL 120 on hand.
C6 tuning is also common.
As I said earlier, you should try open tunings, on you guitars.

Congratulations. I just picked up my first Fender today, after several Squire's. Its a Player Plus Nashville in faded Candy Red, with a third (Strat) pickup in the middle, a five way selector, and a switch that brings in the neck pickup in positions 1 and 2. I plugged it into my Vox AC-10 for about 30 minutes this evening. I think it's going to be my favourite guitar for learning lead lines as it sounds terrific. Not sold on it as a rhythm guitar though, and I am just a basic strummer with a few (very few) single line riffs and licks in my repertoire.
As a side note I am also looking at an Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Les Paul Muse. It is chambered and with a belly cut, and weighs even less than my tele's do, which is ideal as my lower back cannot put up with the weight of a standard Les Paul while standing for any more than a few minutes now.

Yeah, my Fender Tele is a heavyweight compared to the Japanese Tele clone that is my favorite guitar. That one is about a ounce under 7lb and the Fender is over 8lb. Amazing what a difference a pound or so makes even if I am just moving them from place to place and not playing them.
