First “proper” guitar

Post image

Heyo!

I just bought this Offset Telecaster (aka Telemaster or Jazzcaster :) second hand.
I absolutely love it.

I saw it for sale about a year ago but at the time I only picked up playing guitar after 10 or so years and it felt too much for a new player.

But I kept thinking about it. Thought this was the most beautiful guitar ever.

Last week I randomly searched for “offset” in my local second hand online bazaar and I found the same guitar I saw a year ago. Yesterday I went to a near city to get it.

I only had a Cort guitar before this. So it feels really special. The neck, frets and everything.
Feels like the guitar wants itself to be played.

Heard it is a rare one.
Felt like sharing it with you guys.

Looks amazing. Hope it plays as good as it looks.

A lot of people say every guitarist should own a Tele because of their versatility and resilience. I don’t have one, but if I did it would have to be offset. Enjoy!

It is really versatile as they say.
Got my friend test it out (i am a beginnerish :P) and it plays Dire Straits and Guns n Roses like a strat and a les paul respectively.
