HNGD.
If you're looking for a lighter electric, check out the Squier Bullet Mustang HH. Thin basswood body, comfort cuts for arm and belly, and a 24" scale make for a compact and light guitar. It feels like a toy compared to my Les Paul. Quality is surprisingly good. The pickups are a little muddy to my ears but some guys love them. I got it for my son to learn on. I didn't want a Mini Strat for him as I find the quality on those to be terrible. |

I had to order new strings since my collection were all for electrics. They came in today and had full intention of changing strings. I'm in doubt now lol. Played all day all week on the acoustic and have yet to touch a tuning peg yet. It's dead on setup. I checked it today and the gauge had it just hair low which fit me perfectly. I really didn't expect that on a pretty inexpensive guitar. Innotation is dead on as well. I think I'm going to leave it till I start to notice a degredation. It's rare for me to not to mess with something that is already going good lol.

DON'T TOUCH IT.
OK, you needed positive reinforcement. If it sounds good and stays in tune leave it be. Gosh darn it I haven't played since Covid began. Got to get one out now. Heck, I can play outside since the golf course is closed. Won't put anyone off their game.

Maybe I just taught you something. Anyway, that's great that you found such a nice instrument. |

Congratulations on your new acoustic!
Fair warning! You will have to buy others. I started with a fair classical guitar. I now have two classical guitars, a Squier Starcaster, a PRS SE Santana, and a Washburn Revival acoustic. Plus an Ohana baritone ukelele. |

I have a telecaster collection. I can't imagine the space needed if I had branched out into other guitars over the last 35 years. But as long as I didn't foot the bill...hmm thinking lol. I did order a few things, that doesn't count. A stand, some extra strings, a new strap, a new case. That doesn't count however, that's just standard stuff. I tried to get her to learn the mandolin to make a good team. No luck....yet :) |

I have to put a post it note next to the computer to keep my ex'es name on that I've known 25 years and it's only 5 letters. Now that is mad when I get that one spelled wrong heh. |

Hot diggity dog. I love both of them. We need more pics of your Teles. I have always liked teles. Although I'm getting to the point that I want to sand them belly cut and arm relief in all of them. I had a strat type guitar for the last 10 years and the comfy body spoiled me. I just bought an Affinity Tele and it reminded me of the reasons I was a tele guy. They just feel like home to me. BUT, the slab body is the downside. LOL.
Not to make you long for another acoustic but I could go for something with a smaller body. The only one I have is a normal large body like you got, I forget the name of that size. But I think I'd like something the next size down. Would be more comfy on the couch and even when playing at church I think it would be easier to play cuz it wouldn't stick out so much. LOL. |

Yeah I thought about something smaller. The size has not been an issue, the weight reductin was the biggest impact. Plus it was a gift someone else picked out. I play it a lot everyday now and I like it a lot. The weight is nice.

It looks super good. I'd be stoked if someone gave me that too. Is the scale a 24-3/4"?

Quote HistoryQuoted: It looks super good. I'd be stoked if someone gave me that too. Is the scale a 24-3/4"? yes Ordered some bumblebee thumb picks and they came in a day or two ago. I like them. Supposed to be for picking obvioivly but I like them for strumming. At the sound levels I play at they're just right and they never slip, and the yellow part makes them easier to spot than a flat dark color pick which magically disappear in seconds. Somewhere out there is a large field of socks and picks. |

Every one of my guitars I own right now, including my acoustic is a 25-1/2 scale and after shopping for guitars lately I feel like a 24-3/4 would be better for me. If I redo my strat I might try and find a neck in the smaller scale. But that's down the road. |
