Telecaster decision

[keefj200]

:)Hi Guys,

I'm a Fender newbie. I would appreciate your collective expertise on the choice of a Custom Shop 51 Nocaster / Custom Shop 52 Telecaster and one of the production Thin Skin Telecasters. I'm going to pull the trigger on one of these next week. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Welcome Keefj,

You are in an enviable position brother. Having to decide between three winners.
The custom shop stuff is usually pretty top notch and if price isn't an issue either of the those guys should be knockouts. I don't know really how much practical difference there is between the two models other than the sticker or lack thereof. Someone else may be more educated on the subject than I.
The production model is I'm sure a really decent guitar but the detail work in the CS models will make them shine in comparison.
We will definitely be interested in what choice you make and will bother you repeatedly for pics when you get her home.

You can't really go wrong with any of those - figure out which one feels and sounds the best to you and grab that one as there isn't a poor choice in that bunch.
