I'm considering the purchase of my first tele. I don't know if I could get used to a 7.25 radius, I'm gonna try playing some tomorrow to see how they feel. But, I'm leaning towards a Muddy Waters because of all the great things I keep hearing about them, and the larger radius and frets.
I definitely want some tele twang and I kinda prefer maple necks, so would I be better off with an American series? I don't know much about the tele pickups, etc but I keep hearing how the MW sounds so good, etc. I guess I'd prefer the tone to be slightly on the 'fatter' side if that's possible without going to a fat tele. (I do want single coils only in my first tele.)
I don't know if that's enough info, but it's a start. Would the Muddy be a good choice for me?
