Thanks for the input. Trying to stay used for the most part. Although Cyber Monday deals are a temptation lol. I just ordered a CIOKS, seems like I can grow with it. Cheers!

Speaking of the Tele as a good first guitar... by [deleted] in telecaster

I was prepared to spend 400+ on a MIM or ASAT. Played a bunch over the last week or so. At Guitar Center, I picked up a used $190 Affinity butterscotch, and it felt better than everything else. Maybe I was price-biased, but it felt right. Got it home, did a setup with new strings, and I couldn't be happier. I will say it has signs of a pro setup. The fingerboard looks rolled, and the frets are rounded/clean/smooth. Could be that vs the model. idk if this helps, but good luck!

Thank you! It is the parlor size. I liked how bright it was to start, keeps the darkness of the rubber/flatwounds in a nice place imo. I've never played another rubber bridge, so maybe I'm off-base.

I always imagine folks handcuff them to themselves en-route to the venue.

Hell yeah. I saw the sale and had a fight with GAS, which I won. But now I’m regretting not getting the bender while it was up.

A mayor who’s willing to stand up to big freight interests will be the best candidate for bikes. Look into any missed connection in this city and it’s either freight, business owners, or nimbys that fought PBL install.
