The first Tele I ever saw was at my high school at a performance by some friend's new band. It was in the gym on the basketball court and the Tele was a 68 or 69 pink paisley - they were covering a bunch of Stones' tunes.
I have no idea what those Teles went for then, but here's where they're at now (whooaaa!) Fender Telecaster Paisley 1968 | Reverb

I picked up my new Strat this morning. Classic 50s Series Daphne Blue Reverb Photos
I played with it for about an hour in the store using several amps, just to make sure everything was fine. Only problem was the loose nut on the input jack. They tightened that up nicely.
Messed with it for awhile after I got it home but it wouldn't stay in tune.. I wasn't using the tremolo.. strings needed some play on them and it needed to adjust to temp. After about 12 hours, and several 15 minute jams, they settled in nicely.
I haven't plugged it in at home yet, just been playing a bunch of my older songs and it sounds great unplugged - sweet..
This is my first guitar with a tremolo bar and I'm getting the hang of it - this one's very sensitive. Very responsive. I'll develop a light touch - no dive bombing
This guitar is really nice out of the box. Everything feels good and operates as it should. No marks or blemishes. Comes with a Fender deluxe gig bag which only the top and one side partially unzips, so you have to slide the guitar in bottom first.
Right now, all I've got to play this through is Reaper and it's plug-ins. I'll be getting the AmpliTube Fender Collection and expect not to come up for air for awhile after that.
