Saying goodbye to the strat.

So today at church Justin talked about Christmas a little bit and about money. My original plans if you didn't know was to get this baby.



This is a American Vintage '62 Hot Rod Strat. It is an awesome tone and feel, only problem is the price tag. This pup runs for about 1600, though they still have one at Guitar Center for like 1300. But I have thought about this, and I have came to a decision.



This is what I am getting for Christmas. I have been saving up money and will be able to pay it off. This Tele runs about 750. I played this tele at GC for about 30 mins through a twin, which is the amp I own. I love the sound of it. So this is what I have concluded.

Reasons I should buy the Tele and wait on the Strat:

-The Tele is cheaper and I will be able to pay it off on the spot, unlike the Strat. This allows me to give more Christmas.
-I don't feel like I really deserve the Strat right now. Having that is having a better guitar then alot of players who are alot more advanced then me. I want to earn and deserve it.
-Its beaultiful.
-I'm beautiful.
-You are beautiful.

So let me know what you think.
