Common misfit
My new job will have me on the road a week a month, staying in business travel type hotels. I will be in towns where I can find open mics, so I want something halfway decent.
Small is good. P90s are good but not a make or break issue.
The three top candidates I have now are:
Fender Blacktop Jaguar 90
Squier vintage modified thinline tele
Epi LP Special singlecut
The Fender is the most expensive, but it's nice out of the box and I dig the short scale. $500
The Squier needs pickups, but is only $275
The Epi needs pickups an is priced similarly to the Squier. I do like the individual volume and tone controls. I owned one briefly last year and, aside from the pickups, was a pretty nice guitar. It's out of production now, but I see a couple on eBay.
Kinda leaning toward the jaguar. Any other ideas? I've looked at se of the "travel" guitars and I don't much care for them. Just something that sounds and plays decent without mortal fear of its loss.
