After owning my Epiphone doubleneck for a year, I lied to myself that the only other guitar I would need would be a Fender. Though the G1275 was loud and dense, I missed the dry, single-coil sound of a Fender. I was rather taken with Fender’s 50s retro Strat line, but when Fender released the Nashville Tele, I was swayed. The hybrid nature of this axe appealed to me, combining Telecaster pickups with an over-wired Stratocaster pickup in the middle position. The guitar is made in Mexico, and the pickups are the ‘Tex-Mex’ type, and provides both Tele sounds combined with the 5-way switching of the Strat. Thanks to the heavy slab of wood it has more sustain than a standard Strat.
Unique Feature(s): 3 different pickup types
