So, here's an update. Probably one of the best additions to the the amp and Tele is my three guitar- guitar stand, made by On Stage Stands. This little number is getting me playing the guitar more frequently. Keeping it in an old acoustic case was not ideal. This stand is completely safe for the fender necks. The pivoting cradles take all the weight and by telescoping the neck up there is no chance of damaging necks by contact with other guitars. I also like the spring neck holds that keep your guitar from accidentally falling out. They are plenty soft and easy to cradle and uncradle the guitar even with one hand.
After watching many you-tube lessons, I decided I wanted to play an open G setup as much as I wanted to play the standard tuning. So I picked up another Tele. One just for open G.
This is a rock bottom Squire Tele, but man it plays sweet. I love it. It has an unfinished neck and alder body in butterscotch with all the grain showing. It is beautiful. It did have fret ends that needed filing down so I did that myself. I'm very pleased with the results.
