Yes i do like the simplicity of a tele too but I have to say a double bound 62 tele with the right aged white/cream body binding and a rosewood board and a nice burst is hard to beat.Glacial Pace wrote:Think it's a shame that all the 60's teles have double bound body's. I always think of the tele as being a no nonsense guitar and don't think the binding matches that. Love it on a Les Paul custom though.
I don't like the look or the feel. The binding has a sharper edge that really digs into my arm, even more than a normal Tele. I've sold off Teles with binding just because they were so uncomfortable to play.Glacial Pace wrote:Think it's a shame that all the 60's teles have double bound body's.

Bodes well if I hang onto my 2013 AVRI62 then. Nice.tubeswell wrote:I liked the Am Vintage Series tho'. Loved the vintage frets, neck radius, pups, finish etc, Was nice to think I could buy a vintage spec guitar (once in a blue moon). Disappointed that they've discontinued it. The Vintage Series gats will become harder to acquire.
Got quote excited when i saw double bound and nitro. Shame about the lack of vintage style 7.25 necks, or a maple option. Bummer.StrummersOfThunder wrote:Yes i do like the simplicity of a tele too but I have to say a double bound 62 tele with the right aged white/cream body binding and a rosewood board and a nice burst is hard to beat.Glacial Pace wrote:Think it's a shame that all the 60's teles have double bound body's.
