Oh Font Of All Knowledge That Is The PDML,

Anyone here swing an axe? My son plays an acoustic 6 string, and has
professed a desire for an electric. I would like to get him a surprise
for his birthday in a few weeks so am doing my research. I am minded to
look for a Telecaster, probably a Mex as it's in our price range...

Whaddya say?

Mexican Fenders are a better value (bang for the buck) than USA Fenders. The USA Fenders aren't as much better as the price difference would indicate. The pickups and electronics on the USA Fenders are slightly better, but ALL of the body work is done in Mexico anyway ... and it seems like most serious guitarists end up customizing the pickups & electronics sooner or later.

Although, my Telecaster, and one of my Strats were made in Japan ... but that's only because Fender didn't have a Mexican factory then.

What kind of amp are you thinking about? Or were you going to get one of those package kits that includes a little practice amp?
