Which Tele?

mattyp90

Tell us your all-time favourite Tele, or ask for advice.
 
I'll start off:
 
I don't have a Tele yet, but I love my dad's pre-upgrade Highway 1.  What do people in the know think I should do, get a Highway 1 2006 upgrade for about £450 ($900), or should I save more for a nice MIJ?  Or I'll take other suggestions.
(I'll be playing Indie/Alt, like Bloc Party, Radiohead, Muse etc).

I'm waiting for my Tele to arrive! I did go for the Highway 1 in the end, Maple neck, Wine Transparent, it's fucking nice, but the waiting period is probably the worst time imaginable for a guitarist. Sure it's exciting, but I've paid for it and want it right now. I'm waiting for my Tele to arrive!

'72 thinline - gorgeous looks and a thick sound perfect for my brand of alt rock. Still fancy a deluxe though.... '72 thinline - gorgeous looks and a thick sound perfect for my brand of alt rock. Still fancy a deluxe though....

I love my MIM Tele, but I just scored an autographed John 5 Telecaster off Ebay so when that arrives I think that'll be my favorite Tele. I love my MIM Tele, but I just scored an autographed John 5 Telecaster off Ebay so when that arrives I think that'll be my favorite Tele.

I love the merle Haggard special. Pretty much my favorite guitar ever. It's on Musiciansfriend, and I plan to buy it someday. I love the merle Haggard special. Pretty much my favorite guitar ever. It's on Musiciansfriend, and I plan to buy it someday.
