This one goes out to TF's resident guitar players.
My 16 year old daughter has been taking guitar lessons for a few years and has become quite good.
She says the only thing she wants for Christmas is a Fender Telecaster.
She plays left-handed, so that limits availability somewhat.
Here are my thoughts so far:
I was considering the American model, but it is rather expensive and it only comes in two colors. I don't think that she would like the black or sunburst.
American Telecaster® Left Handed
The Mexican-made Standard model is cheaper and comes in more colors, but I'm not sure about the quality.
Standard Telecaster® Left Handed
So I'm thinking about going with the Japanese-made '70s Telecaster. It is priced between the American and the Standard and I know she would like the white blonde maple color. I'm guessing that the Japanese quality should be pretty good. The ash body is probably heavier than the other two, though, and she's rather petite.
‘70s Telecaster® Left Handed
And advice? Are there any other major differences in these models that I am missing? Any thoughts on where to purchase?
Thanks for any help!
