I played one of these last night.......I was extremely happy with this guitar, and was very surprised at the price tag. Fixin to put one on layaway soon.....it's like the ultimate gig axe for me. Sounds and plays like a guitar costing way more. Anybody own one or play one?

Yes I know. This guitar is the best kept secret in the biz! I already own a Tele, but will probably get one of these in the near future. Great tonal options and a real solid feel!

He he...I know how you feel. But I can't complain, I just bought an amp pedal last week and my lady didn't complain one bit! Now if she'd just be satisfied eating Ramen for a month then maybe I'll get that Tele soon ;-).

No sheeeiiiittt! My wife starts to roll her eyes when my "iwantme's" flare up. I'm in the process of getting her buttered up in order to buy a new recorder.......on a payment plan. But I can layaway all I want, long as I use my own Cashish (pet name for money....wife says I burn it up and stay high for a bit and need some more!!!).

These are very cool guitars, especially for the price. I compared it to an American Tele, a Nashville with the piezo bridge, and an American Deluxe Tele and liked the basic one the best.
I was in my local GC a few months ago and decided to get a white one with rosewood fretboard plus one of the Jimmy Vaughn signature strats...
Talked them into doing it for only $350.00 each...
Oh yeah.

I've wanted one of the basics for 3 years! Never had the dough when I worked at Mars. Talk about a missed opportunity! Enjoy them boys and girls. I like the combination of pickups.
I've played the power bridge version. Like others, I was unimpressed. My fingerpicking style won't work with light gauge strings, so I'd have to adjust my electric style.

Love it, Strat! Man, those breaks are great! And definitely some Don Rich influence in the body of the tune...great stuff!
Hmmm...now for a bowl o' chili...perhaps a burrito? Pizza, maybe?

That's great Strat! But I didn't mean you can't fingerpick a Tele, just that me immitating acoustic with the powerbridge doesn't sound right. My playing style on acoustic goes from light to bashing in the same song. When I've tried using the powerbridge or Parker Fly, I lose a lot of feel in keeping the notes from going sharp.
I'd love that tab, too!

Hey... any of you know how the 5-way switching is set up? Is it like a strat, or can you still get the neck/bridge combo?

quoted from the Nashville Tele description on http://www.fender.com website.
This Music City namesake also features 5-way "Strat-o-Tone™" switching for a unique combination of Strat and Tele tones.
No other description available. I'm calling. Can you believe they have no customer service email addresses online? Weird.

I agree it should come with the full monty, but this is a $400 guitar, and I imagine they have cut costs. It's an easy fix to rewire the thing, probably take ten minutes. If that. I don't do that much switching though and it's not a huge concern for me.
Afternote: When I played the Nashville Tele the first time it was unplugged, and right then I could tell how good it was, before I plugged in. Resonant and a good solid build.
