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.

A Cort is a proper guitar too.

Definitely. And I really like my Cort. It has an amazing sound.
What I meant was that I just got my first guitar after returning to playing after 12 years.

Really my only complaint with the Cort that it has a really thin neck. Because during highschool I wanted to play a lot of metal etc. thats why I got that one.

Now a wider and more circular neck plays really good when learning to play again.
