if you shop around on eeebay or craig's list you could most definitely find a used american tele for around $500, but if not, a new mexican one is around $400. i personally have a 20 year old mexican one that is real haggard looking with lots of upgrades,but it plays great.

I have never seen a telecaster with a ''bending pole''/arm or whatever it's called. Don't know how you play, but i use the bending pole alot(i have a fender strat, very good quality a nice blues guitar)
Anyway, if you want a blues guitar with a pole you should get a nice fender stratocaster.
I have never tryed a telecaster, but i'm sure they are very nice guitars too=)

I happen to think my Fender is beautiful.
I love this guitar. The neck is thin, and incredibly fast. These particular pickups are excellent aswell, great sustain and picks up pinch harmonics very well indeed.
Guitar is light, very smooth, is very comfortable to both sit and stand with, and there are a variety of sexy colours available (aswell as really ugly ones)

However, the 2 bad points of this guitar are the lack of a whammy bar and a locking trem.

But, 8/10 is my rating for it. I'm running 52's btw
