I am trying out a new one tomorrow. Divorced my Fender American Standard Strat today and test driving a Fender Tele tomorrow. It is a bit funky in appearance but I visited with a fellow who tours with a country band around my neighborhood (West Coast) and does festivals. He bought one and raves about it....only 6+ lbs and sparkly. I'll have more to share if I buy it. Nothing like a mystery...

Oh, and it is a signature, made in Mexico. Any guesses?

No Paisley for me. Tried it out today. Great weight for me, tonally ok though not great but the neck and body were very tacky feeling, even after a cleanup and wipe down. Could not slide well on the back of the neck. Also very, very chunky and that didn’t suit my fretting hand well. I need no more guitars and am not in the hunt but there is something about the funky look that grabbed me. Not in the cards though this time. Did put up the American Standard Strat for sale at the store though. I have a couple more strats that will do when the urge strikes,one  Roadworn and light, and one surfy green with lipsticks .

You are a man of great fortitude! :)

(Usually when I go to look at a guitar - I come back with a guitar.)

Shout out to my Tele brother!  I understand the decision.  It's tough to compare to what you have already.  However, I also love the look of paisleys.  Have you ever seen the Nash?  I think these are the ones where he found some patterned paper somewhere overseas of the original Fender paisley.  https://reverb.com/item/7710095-nash-t-68p-paisley-telecaster-electric-guitar-medium-aging-t68

James Trussart has some beautiful looking ones too.  http://www.jamestrussart.com/available.php?id=1

Another option is to just get a custom pick guard.  I think I posted this on the other site, or maybe just in chat.  Been meaning to order one for my blonde 52 RI: https://www.etsy.com/shop/mkholloway?ref=search_shop_redirect  Saw a guy post his on another site and it looked hot.

Gonna spend an evening soon going through your catalogue of songs Cap. The acoustic Table For Two is very, very nice. Your vocal skills are rapidly approaching your guitar ones. Masterful.....and since that lead player is always late, who needs him anyways. Guitar players area a dime a dozen.:P

I believe Nash is a Northwest guy, Seattle area. I have never played a Nash tele, only a strat that a friend of mine had-like your brother, a collector of high end guitars. Should the opportunity arise to try one out, paisley or not, I likely would do it. Since I am not lusting after gear at this time, I am very content where I am with instruments. That may all change in June when I return to Nashville however......
