My mate taught himself how to build and setup guitars. He has taken some very budget ones and set them up properly so they play like a high end guitar. I think there is a certain amount of snobbery and the assumption that because they're old then they're worth a lot. It could be that back then they were made a lot better and there was more quality control? I also once played my mate's guitar which he got used for £1500, and I wasn't especially impressed

They're like bikes, aren't they. Cheapo ones are a bit rubbish, mid price ones are absolutely fine, high price ones are unnecessary but if you fancy spending that amount then knock yourself out, daft price ones are daft.

One of the few guitars I have never wanted. Played a few and have no probs with them though.

There are 2 different 'flavours' of Telecaster, ones that are quite thin and twangy and others that have a much 'fuller' tone more suited to a Blues sound.

Or buy a 72 custom with a humbucker at the neck for those lovely bluesy tones and thick rock sound and a regular single coil and Tele bridge at the back for that country twang. All in one guitar!
