Guitarists: Going beyond the Beginners' Level

I play a Mexican Fender Telecaster. I have always been a huge fan of the versatility and tone of the tele. Just try to pick up a used one, because the new ones are expensive.

thinking sort of along the same lines as an acoustic: you might want to consider a hollow-body electric? epiphone and ibanez both make some pretty nice, affordable guitars. i've never been too crazy about ibanez, but their artcore line of hollow-bodies seem pretty nice.

i've been thinking about picking up an epiphone casino, to tide me over until the time when i can afford the gretsch (country gent, or maybe a white falcon) that i've had my heart set on for so long now..

here's a pic of the epiphone:


and for the record: i also think picking up an acoustic at some point is a great idea

Our lead guitarist uses that guitar, it gives a really nice 'indie' sound.

For an intermediate guitar I don't think you can beat the Epiphone Les Pauls for the price. The tone and construction are great. Set neck, mahogony body, alder tops, etc.

I love my washburn electric acoustic. I also have a fender strat, a samwick bass, a fender accoustic, a ibonaz telecaster copy, and a harmany 12 string, but nothing sounds as crisp and clean as the washburn.
