Yesterday i got two new guitars, i traded my Gretsch 6120 for a 1963 model Fender Jaguar finished in olympic white and a Fender Telecaster that is kind of buttery yellow in colour.
The Fender Jaguar is just amazing, it has that surf sound heard in the music of the Ventures and also works really well with effects pedals, Fender Jazzmasters have also been used by guitar players such as Kevin Shields of My Bloody Valentine and J Mascis of Dinosaur Jr so sonically they can cover a lot of different areas.
The Fender Telecaster is a staple of country and western music, this one has Texas Special pickups that sound a little warmer and have slightly higher output than standard Telecaster pickups, the neck on this Telecaster is a bit wider than what im used to, its a bit like wrapping your hand around a baseball bat, also this guitar weighs a lot more than i expected but heavier woods often indicate more sustain and thats not a bad thing at all.
