    He has played a whole lot of different guitars throughout the years but I can't think of Keith without a Tele.

    Those into them before Exile tend to think of him as a Gibson man, but I can't imagine him without a Tele.

    I used to think of myself as a Strat man, but as soon as I got a Tele, it became my go to SC. Teles are sooooo rock and roll.

    I used to be a Strat man, but as soon as I got a tweed Deluxe clone, my Tele became my go to guitar. I had considered routing it for humbuckers like Jeff Beck's before getting the 5E3. Now I prefer my Tele with all amp.

    I'm a Tele man myself, and have several different flavors to choose from.

    My Teles: a 2006 Limited Edition 60th Anniversary Natural, a 2016 "Magnificent Seven" Select Lite Ash/White Blonde, and a 2014 Classic Player (w/ three nocaster pickups).

    But oops, it turns out I have four Strats: a 1994 aluminum-bodied 40th Anniversary, a MIM 50th Anniversary in Aztec Gold, a 2016 Artist Series Eric Clapton, and a 2006 Custom Shop Robin Trower (autographed by Robin himself).

    So, let's just say I'm a Fender man and leave it at that.

    Get a Baja if you can Sergio, they're awesome! I really think that it's a great rendition of a Tele. Nice mix of old and new school. You get the best of both worlds, old school tones with a couple modern upgrades.

    I'm very happy with my T-Style, but if the Baja had been available when I built it I think I would've gotten one. I was looking for a blackguard style Tele with medium jumbo frets and a flatter radius fretboard for under $1000. Fender didn't have anything at the time so I bought parts and assembled my own.

    Re: Keef and his hermaphrodite Tele

    You know... I gotta say: I came into this thread completely randomly and with a very BAD case of already preexisting Tele GAS.

    So looking through this thread was akin to a kid with an aching sweet-tooth ALMOST making it across the road to the gluten-free health-food store... only to find that the Good Humor truck has broken down on the street right in front of him... Oh and it's a HOT day... everything is melting... so all ice-cream treats are half-price!

    I'm tellin' ya... if I find an extra $5 in these pockets, I'm DOOMED!!

    Carry on.

    Thankfully that beast is so expensive that it terminated my GAS immediately. Still though... one of the sexiest and classiest Tele I've ever seen.

    I've said it before, and many times since: I have a "thing" for wood-toned guitars. Rosewood (as in necks) has never appealed to me, but that is one FINE looking guitar!

    Exactly why I'd want one!

    Is Fender able to make these anymore, what with the restrictions on Rosewood these days?

    I believe it's no issue if you reside in the US ,outside I think you have to deal with the new CITES restrictions .
