This is a birthday present, courtesy of my wife and a decent SARS refund this year - Butterscotch Player Series Tele. Haven’t had a chance to dig in and play properly yet because I’m working today, but very happy with it. Action is low, neck is more substantial than the Squier Classic Vibe I sold a few years ago, and the pickups are Alnico. I will probably add some switching options (series,out of phase) when I can find a reasonably priced four or five way switch.

There was a big discount on it because of a chip in the finish on the back of the body, but a local tech patched it for me at a very reasonable price so I ended paying used MIM price for a new guitar.

Nice Peter, congrats.. how bout some sound clips?

As promised, rudimentary guitar playing skills through a clean-ish Voxy type amp in GarageBand.
first riff is bridge, next one is middle position, last one is neck only- I think it gives a fair idea of the clean tones possible:

Awsome.. sounds great.. thabks for taking the time to record some clips
