I know, I’m always like… I normally don’t reprint press releases, but this is an exception… 🙂 Yeah well, here’s another exception. The new Chris Shiflett Tele Deluxe Signature Model. I got the press release in my email this morning. As I was deleting the ads – of which this was one – I stopped when I looked at this Tele Deluxe because it looked like a Les Paul configuration, with the independent volume and tone knobs and the 3-way switch on the upper bout of the body. So I gave the link on the email a click. Didn’t even bother looking at the details on the page; I just went to watch the video. Here it is…
The ‘buckers on this are apparently a bit hotter than your standard Fender ‘buckers. That’s VERY cool. For me, I love the sound of a Tele, but a Tele capable of some drive? Getoutatown! Then top this off with a $899 MSRP, which means that the guitar will probably sell around $600 street.. F-me!!! When it’s finally released, I’m going to take a good look at this guitar.
