well, all i wanna do with it is have a play about and see what i can do, technical-wise... i just want it to be cheap enough that if i screw everything up, i can just chuck it.

The links you gave me were great, but i'm a bit dubious about getting one with a bigsby, as that could complicate matters.

Are there any tele's with built-in trems??? i thought i saw one aaaages ago, thas all :s

Have a good look at Richwood Teles. They're on Ebay for something like 114 quid. I have a Richwood Strat and it's easily on par with a Mexican Strat, and with the BKPs in it rocks my arse. I've played one of their Teles and they're great. In fact, one is on my list of guitars to buy in the near future :).

just had a look at their website and - although very confusing for a sec - they seem to be fairly nice. but i am still trying to find a tele with a built in trem, which seems to be harder than i thought it would

Tele's are not exactly known as a trem guitar so I would imagine finding one will be more custom/weird and cost alot more than a "cheap" tele.
