ok, so after some more thought after your good advice I'm nearly ready to order up. I'm going for the tele deluxe body mahogany, and the CBS vintage neck - maple and rosewood fretboard. Now for the tricky bits. How fat is the fat neck compared to say the 50's rounded neck on an SG standard ( I play a 61 re-issue SG, but I prefer the thicker neck on the standard). I tried a couple of teles in a guitar shop in town, but the guy there said they were all standard thin so I've nothing to compare to really.
One final thought on the bridge. I'd really like a tremolo but having never owned a tremolo'd guitar, I'd have concerns with it staying in tune. I played a strat with schaller locking tuners, roller nut and schaller(I think) bridge, and found that when bending the strings (on the fretboard) I could here that the other strings were going down in tone without me touching the bridge. Is this normal, and can the bridge be tightened so as it doesn't move as easily when merely bending strings? Any advice much appreciated.
