I think a Tele is the perfect choice. The Mexi ones are fairly well-made, too. The Tele body is good for novices in that it's easy to play with a strap or when sitting down, which is not the case with Strats or other "contured" bodies.
I have a Tele I built and I play it more than my other guitars. It has a humbucker in the bridge position to give the guitar more crunch. Make sure that whatever amp the Tele is played through is well and trully grounded. Poorly grounded AC mains will make single coil pickups, like those on a Tele, buzz and hum. ;-] -Brendan --- Cotty <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Oh Font Of All Knowledge That Is The PDML, > > Anyone here swing an axe?
