New gear day!

After adjusting the Squier Bullet, I was thinking about getting a new Squier Strat off of Craigslist. There were certainly a lot to choose from, but it feels like everyone plays a Strat of some sort, and I thought it'd be neat to go in a little different direction. So in the footsteps of Keith Richards, Pete Townhend, Jeff Buckley, Tom Morello and Brad Paisley, I got a Telecaster. Wooo!

The new goodness.

It's a Squier as well, made by Fender for those of us with a smaller budget. Found it used in Canandaigua. I love Craigslist. 

Mmm... chunky and oddly pretty.

After replacing the rusty strings and doing a little polishing, it became clear that this guitar had only been used once or twice before sleeping in a case for a few years. 

The serial number traces it to being made in China in 2007. Neat!

It's definitely got that signature Tele brightness, can't wait to try it out with the band. Here's a clip, if you're interested! First part clean (through the practice amp), then with the Big Muff distortion.
