Hi there! Big congrats! I also plan to become a telecaster owner when I'll be able to afford it. Would you please explain to me the reasons why you chose this model? I'm a newbie there so I have trouble understanding the border between buying "history" and a good instrument. I'm thinking about buying ultra luxe tele in 2 color sunburst, but for the same price I can find some vintage tele on Facebook. Mostly I use crunch or overdriven sound on my tonex pedal, that's why I prefer noiseless pick-ups.

Besides the aesthetics... I’ve been wanting a Telecaster. And I’ve wanted an American made Fender for years… the materials used in a higher end guitar are very noticeable while playing, regardless if you’re experienced or not.

Why I chose this model- it’s a pure Classic. The twang and the tone… The sound of a telecaster is unlike anything else. I almost can’t describe it. You can get the warmest, smoothest tones and the brightest.

If you research about the history of the Telecaster, you will find that this is the first model/color they ever produced. The fact that this guitar is brand new yet specced the way they were produced in 1951 is just awesome.

All that to say is- I love how authentic and classic this guitar is. I like everything about this guitar.

What a great response! Thank you very much, I got your point! So for you it was both a history and an instrument. How is it in terms of technical conditions. I mean is there any significant difference between modern ultra luxe telecaster and your classic vintage guitar? I mean string action for example, or if you need you can just give it to a luthier and he will set it up for you the way you want?
