Every guitarist (except Roo) needs a Tele.

I bet he's got one really and won't admit it

Maybe something like this:
Mules, VHII, Crawler, MM's, IT's, BG50's.

I'm highly biased on these matters but for £400, you could have nice early Patrick Eggle. 

that's also an excellent call if you're willing to go s/h.

Here's a link to a Danish one man company that sells guitars at very reasonable prices. I got a LP copy and a western acoustic and both are fine guitars for the money. I think the owner told me that he has shipped to the UK before. You can always drop him a mail.

oh lordy

That is a monstrosity, and reminds me of Zakk Wylde's horrid SG/V hybrid.

On the other hand, I rather like these variations on a similar theme:

Good god, that inbred nearly blinded me.

The ones Philly posted look quite cool, actually.

I like this one best - decked out like a '60s Custom Tele, with a bound sunburst body and rosewood board:

Fellow-hijacker: that one looks very nice, but relic on this model? Hmm, I don't know.

Oh yes, it would be far too pretty if it wasn't relic'ed.  :D

Haha, yes you're right. But serious, it has somehow no pedigree for relicing.
