True. So apprently it looks like I'm setting my sights on a standard Telecaster. Hopefully in blonde/yellow, with a white pickguard, or Black with a white pickguard

Oh God, just go to a store and buy a fucking guitar.

Agreed, thats the one thing I don't like about the Agiles and SXs. They're cheap and great for the money but you still have a chance of getting one that just doesn't have the right feel for you.

Although I'm becoming a fan of the eBay option for guitars, usually there are project guitars up for sale at cheap prices such as this: http://cgi.ebay.com/TELECASTER-CUSTOM-S ... dZViewItem

But then again, you can't try before you buy.

I would but I want an authentic big name guitar. Not because its a big name, because Fender, well Squier really was the first guitar I ever got and I want to stay in that same area

^Well it's done by a luthier, it's pretty close to getting a custom guitar. Being skeptical I'd imagine he used a standard Fender Tele body, put in the better pick-ups, put in the new neck and slapped on a new pickguard. At the worst (even though it's not that bad, it's still pretty close to a standard tele's price + the new neck) you have a really nice standard Fender Tele, that of which is better than the Squier.

That being said just because it's a Fender doesn't mean it's THAT good. It's like saying just because it has Gibson on the headstock it's made of auto-win.
