Hi all,
First post, great forum. Just bought a 52 Special Telecaster - had never heard of it, nor ever played a real Tele and I tried it (through a Vibrolux.. wow it sang) it said buy me and luckily i had a little cash to spend, as this guitar would not let me leave the shop with out it!
Anyways, I can't seem to find any info about it on the web - a few old ads of shops selling them, but in general.. nada.. I really feel Fender should sort out the heritage part of their website - It's a pretty poor site isn't it?
Anyone else have one or know anything (the serial on the backplate is V097324)? I love it to bits, has tone like i have never heard before, it's a real guitar and i can't put the damn thing down.
Main question i had was about strings - it came with strings that felt perfect and i broke a couple and fitted the super bullets that came with it (10 thru 46), but they don't feel as good... anyone have any views on some good strings for this type of guitar? (been playing 16 years and i still don't know much about strings lol).
I attached some pics so you can see what I'm talking about.. sorry about the tag still being on and my messy apartment.. (if you get the freeserver does not allow external blabla just copy paste it and refresh, if you can be bothered!)
Keep up the great work,
Steve.
