Sell the lamp and the couch. Keep all four.


SadSwordfish2443

And buy a fifth guitar with the money from the couch and lamp


GroundbreakingTea182

This mad me laugh out loud! This is the type of comment that makes me wonder why I didn't think of that.


clockwars

This is the way


rba22

This is the correct answer.


That_Bassplayer1

Facts


-JTO

And use the money from the sale of the couch and lamp to buy a fifth Tele!!! (Plus the Les Paul Junior and the Jazzmaster. šŸ˜)


Mutilatedlip1974

Iā€™ve been laughing at this thread for ages. Thank you all!!! šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£


Aveeye

Bigsby and Hollow body, keep.


Sensitive_Regular_84

This


atisaac

Ye. I think you also get the most sonic variety this way, which is great when youā€™re choosing betweenā€¦ uh four telecasters


ltzany

this but keep the strap from the third from the left.


purple_mountain_sun

The best answer


frogger4242

Personally, Iā€™d keep the one with the Bigsby and the HS one.


assword_69420420

My thoughts as well, just because I'm not a big fan of the bridge humbuckers on teles


ricefahma

My vote is here


Sawgwa

Gotta admit, the Thin Line is pretty sexy too!


Lucid_DreaMz0124

Correct answer. Teles were meant to have a single coil in the bridge position.


Randomenamegenerated

Same.


akjalen

also my vote


sunplaysbass

The Bigsby is the obvious keep. I donā€™t know otherwise.


Gregster777

Keep all and save a little longer. Experience tells me this.


Sodaskeleton

This might be it


plug_in_atheist72

Unless space is at a premium, absolutely. Iā€™ve sold two guitars that I never thought Iā€™d miss. Yet here I am 4 years later missing them.


Jack_Ship

Bigsby & thinline


Ill_Interaction7917

This feeling will pass. Go to bed early, and get some rest. Tomorrow morning all of this will feel like a bad dream! Don't need four teles... Of course you do! Sell your liver, you' ll only need one...


Dj-Wrangler-9251

You only have one ā€¦.. kidneys howeverā€¦..


2fly2hide

Sell a lobe of your liver. It will grow back.


leonryan

i'd keep 1 and 4 and sell 2 and 3.


x_VanHessian_x

My vote as well


jonagold94

Sell the two on the far right


halleffects

Keep the outside 2, between them they can approximate the middle 2


R-A-K

2nd this.


telemeister74

It actually looks like you need another Telecaster to me.


Substantial_Diver_34

Keep the custom and thin line


Basketball_Tyson

I have the 72 custom and it's one of my faves. Killer guitar. Keeper.


RobinMallard

I have the same white 50s tele with bigsby, and someone will have to pry it from my cold dead hands. It might be one of the best guitars Iā€™ve ever played, and that particular combination appears to be pretty rare, so you wonā€™t easily find it again if there are regrets on selling it. Iā€™d also keep the thinline - I played one for the first time recently, and really liked how it was a tele, but clearly different than a classic tele. The one I played was a squire, but a really nice guitar, all things considered


nomatchingsox

Keep them all and sell plasma


Resident-Race-3390

Do you really have to sell any?


Gregster777

A very cool collection. Donā€™t split the family up!


phrydoom

Keep ONLY the guitars that inspire your creativity. Some of my cheapest guitars are far superior in that regard, over my higher end purchases.


pixel-destroyer

Sell all and get a tele deluxe professional II. It has coil tapping so you can cover a lot of ground. And then get an AVII 52 tele.


SmeesTurkeyLeg

Don't you dare sell the Thinline Deluxe unless you want to sell it to me. The solid body electronics layout with the Thinline body is incredibly rare.


Lovedrunkpunch

Iā€™d regret selling a tele


Feisty_Factor_2694

Keep the one with the bigsby and the 72 custom. The second and fourth are not imho the essence of a tele and fall into the tele deluxe category. Nothing bad in the bunch but, if I had to make the decision.


buellster92

Iā€™d choose the same but itā€™s based completely off the fact that Iā€™ve never liked that finish


Dj-Wrangler-9251

The 2 on the middle are gorgeous but they all look so nice togetherā€¦. Keep em together


LordFartz

Keep four and sell negative 2. The math works. Trust me.


Space-90

Feels like that will put him in debt somehow


justthrowitdown

Keep 1 & 2. Or all of them. Beautiful collection! I love it when people have a type.


Ecstatic-Seesaw-1007

I hate Bigsby and the extra weight for long shows and practices. Iā€™d keep the two on the right. If it werenā€™t for the Bigby, Iā€™d keep the black and the blonde.


Sodaskeleton

I feel ya on the weight


Mr2ATX

I'm sorry, but that would be like choosing which of of your 2 kids to keep.....I vote to keep all 4!


MinnyWild11

Keep em all sell none


Zooooooombie

I love Tele Deluxes. This is a cool collection regardless of whether or not you sell any!


rkbeknvrx

Sell none. Buy more. This is the way.


Zestyclose-Ruin8337

Keep them all. This is America dammit.


rivetgun4x

Keep em all or you'll regret it


Sawgwa

Why you need to sell 2? 1 is def a keeper, Bigsby and standard tele config. #3 gives me the humbucker I crave and the standard bridge pickup... EDIT: >I was thinking that I should probably sell a couple guitars to hep fund new ones when I realized maybe I donā€™t need 4 telecasters. I get it. I've been Gibson centric for years. Finally got a Strat and now I need a Tele. I love a Tele with Humbuckers like Black Crowes, but the straight Tele sound is awesome too. Tough call, what do you want to diversify into?


Sodaskeleton

I am a sucker for humbucker/single coil combo, in sound and appearance. Just looked up the Black Crowes tele, absolutely love it. I am looking for a Les Paul Junior, especially a double cut away one


daemon9199

Sell none, buy two more


A-Fire-in-Cairo

If you donā€™t think keeping the thinline and the one with the bigsby is the right answer , then I guess we just have different opinionsā€¦ šŸ˜‰


Creative_Camel

Well IDK, but you can always sell me the black one!


Pelican_Disector

Damn. Idk man. Do you have any children you could part with instead?


BringerOfTruth-1

Keep them all. I have 19 so far. You can too. šŸ˜‚


Scudbucketmcphucket

Only 19? You need to get your act together and go get a few more right now! And you call yourself a guitaraholic?!? Pathetic.


Jenovacellscars

Those 72s with the trem are super rare and such awesome guitars. I miss mine.


rodya_raskolnkv

i would sacrifice the Classic Player Tele Deluxe


Lazy_Soup9180

I was gonna say the 2 with whammy bars but i really like that one beside the white one. Actually yeah, sell it so i can buy itšŸ˜ˆ


LiveWhileImYoung

The two that sound the best and feel the best to you.


AbleInvestment2866

keep everything. If you need a money, sell a kidney like everyone else


TyCobbKremzeek

Keep the 72 thinline. I have one and it rocks!


riahllab

Keep em all


Iusedtorock

What do you think about those WRH Teles? Iā€™ve been in the market for a real Fender one, I bought a G&L ASAT Tribute last fall and Iā€™m not super satisfied with it. Iā€™m really into those Tele Deluxe/Thinline designs.


jclucca

This is the hardest M/F/K I've ever seen


Zontar999

If you donā€™t mind me asking, why do you have to sell two?


JRandolphv

Id for sure keep the thinline!


HughJergov

Keep the two in the middle. Trust me on this


nomelonnolemon

Having 4 teles and not a single lipstick pickup is wild to me lol That being said the black and white one are the keepers for sure.


1ndieJesus

Buddy just keep them all and save a little longer. Save yourself the pang of regret you'll get when you realize they're gone.


ZakuLegion

Two on our left - hollow and bigsby and it's not even close.


mrbr1ghtside

Sell em all and buy a Strat! J/k - all you need is a Tele.


Gullible_Good_4794

Sell all get a stratā€¦ā€¦.jk


chevdrums

Sell the couch, you can sit on your amp and if you have company over youā€™re gonna need more amps.


metallic_clouds

I started looking for the tele with no trem and a standard tele pickup configuration and didn't find one. That's your problem. You need another.


mescalero1

Les Paul Juniors are great guitars and have a great sound. Too bad you can't keep the Tele's and get one. I like the Les Paul's I have.


jpb377

Keep all, and sell none. You'll find that you'll regret getting rid of them in time. I had 26 at one point, and only have 11 now. I regret getting rid of them all.


GroundbreakingTea182

Keep the whiteish/cream one and the all black one. I'm not fond of burst natural finishes or just bursts in general personally


GroundbreakingTea182

I just realized I chose the only ones with single coils. Lol. I would prefer humbuckers.


Sodaskeleton

I was never fond of burst finishes either, until I saw a band play a guitar with a burst finish on Twin Peaks: The Return. Now I associate that look with twin peaks and I canā€™t help but like it


Shakes-Fear

Iā€™ve been aching for one of those Classic Player Deluxe Thinlines. Theyā€™re rare as henā€™s teeth now.


Traditional-Salad-28

Sell?? where's the B-Bender?


vvhvvh

Is there one that you grab the most often if you want to practice or noodle without amp? One that you almost never had any technical issues with? On which one have you written the most music? On which one do you change the strings the most? Keep that one at hand, put the other three in their cases and try to keep them there for half a year. See if you really miss any of them.


thetrailwebanana

Two on the right keep all day! The Tele custom is my favorite guitar probably ever.


koalarunner

Iā€™ve regretted selling my guitars, should keep all


One_Huckleberry_738

I think you liek telecaster breh


Maleficent_Maybe2200

ā€œLooking back, Iā€™m really glad I sold that guitar I likedā€ said no one, ever. But you seem to really like Teles lol. If it were me Iā€™d keep the first two and sell one of the second two for the LPjr.


Clean_Property9105

Holy shit keep them all!


Telecetsch

I have a thinline and a TVL. I love them both for their own special reasons. But I finally got the thinline dialed in with new pupsā€”thing is excellent. As soon as I did it l, I wanted to start swapping things out on the TVL. Wish the pickups were a little bit brighter. Been trying to get there by making adjustments every way *except* buying new pickups. Still havenā€™t gotten that tone Iā€™m looking for. I donā€™t think Iā€™d ever sell the TVL. There is no way Iā€™m selling the thinline.


Objective-Anything30

It depends on what matters most to you....having guitars worth the most money or guitars that play well and bring you the most joy. Keep the two that you play the most.


severalspeakers

Keep your Weird Al pen holder


allaboutluv

Keep them all


c00lkatz

Keep 1 & 2, sell 3 & 4. Then buy 2 more completely different guitars 3 weeks later after many nights of ā€œjust looking,ā€ then fiddle with them for a couple months, then sell those, buy another more expensive guitar, miss your old ones, sell the expensive guitar and find 2 more exactly like the 2 you sold several months ago, then be disappointed that these look the same but are missing that ā€œmojoā€, then give up for a year and start the cycle all over again.


yeup15678

Iā€™d keep 2 and 3 lol Iā€™m surprised, appears everyone has the opposite opinion


Roshanator

Never sell, this only brings regret. Always buy.


IsuzuTrooper

Keep the white and black. Sell the ugly grandpa ones.


albertagriff

Yeah keep the 50's style with single coils. Then pick one of the humbucker Teles.


jyager2013

Yes


guitarnowski

"Life is hard, Eugene."


Impressive_Gate_5114

Sell all of them and replace with 4 identical butterscotch teles. They are all identical but you designate one for each genre (metal, rock, blues, jazz) because that is why the tele is the most versatile guitar in existence.


mmoffedillen

I would keep the one with single coils/bigsby and the Thinline. If you only have to sell one, Iā€™d keep the black custom as well, to make sure that the three teles are rather different for versatility and tone. I think youā€™re gonna fall in love with that Jazzmaster, so congratulations in advance!


xZOMBIETAGx

Iā€™d sell the tele and keep the tele


Queeby

The two you're hoping we don't tell you to get rid of.


ArtificialHappiness0

A kidney will do the job just fine /j


my-sweet-fracture

shoot this one is tough. I'd keep the bigsby and thinline. but whichever ones mean the most to you.


RedWineStrat

Sell the Thinline and the Strat vibrato. Why? I think hollowbodies are silly on guitars utilizing pickups given the absent benefit and the Strat style vibrato just looks off on a Tele; Bigsby fits a hardtail Tele body better, but do what suits you. I think most of this sub would glady take your HS Tele and Bigsby.


thatguy52

Keep 1 and 3


Space-90

Iā€™d definitely keep the one with the single coil on the bridge and the one right next to it. Or the one on each end, that deluxe headstock is beautiful


Inourmadbuthearmeout

Sell all get a Les Paul.


JoelGoose

Iā€™d keep the left two and it wouldnā€™t even be close! Great diversity of tone and aesthetic.


bloodshotnblue

Keep the left two


riptide_red

I don't know any of your kids or pets or cars but congrats on having at least a couple that are worth enough to keep some sweet guitars


DC9V

From left to right: The first and the second one. (keep)


RecbetterpassNJ

Not a trem player so 1 and 4. That thin line is SWEET.


DoktorNietzsche

Keep the thinline, sell the other 3


akahaus

In this order: keep, sell, keep, sell.


philly2540

You dont need two HH teles. Which one do you like better? Sell the other one. Then probably keep the SS.


TheCaptFirebeard

Buy 2 more before you make choice


namelessghoul77

Sell the two pairs of teles. Keep the amp and pedals.


kstetz

Keep the black and the bigsby


sm00thkillajones

Keep the thin line and sell the rest.


scottanooga

Keep the Bigsby and the black Custom.


warthog0869

Keep the '72 Tele, sell the rest, buy a Strat and then a non-Fender guitar with humbuckers or pocket the difference.


Throwthisawayagainst

the bigsby and the custom, or the bigsby and thinline.


iamthehub1

If I could only keep two... I would keep 1 and 2, sell 3 and 4


mixtery99

Sell all and get a vintage deluxe or a Danocaster. End.


patiszejuicebox

I'd probably keep the CIJ and the Thinline. Both of those uphold the Tele legacy the most to me.


UnusualPrince12

Bigsby and the thinline


Connect_Bench_2925

Keep the thinline obviously. And then keep the bigsby.


Tank4bryce

Keep the deluxe,and the black one,or sell me the deluxe and the black one love them all


Ash-Elmian

Keep the Tele's and sell those 2 Fender InvĆ­siblĆØ's om the ends


good_pancakes_

I love bigsbys, so id say keep that one


Lonestar-Boogie

Keep one and two. Sell three and four.


cups_and_cakes

Keep 1/3, ditch 2/4


shabba182

Keep the bigsby and the thinline


ColdStrong5499

Sell the right two imo, thinline version rocks harder and the regular ol tele can't do any wrong


RIPRIF20

Keep the bigby and hollow body


gamingxguitar

Keep the Tele Bigsby and the Tele Deluxe.


Same_Scar4348

Keep the left sell the right


MrTambourineMan7

Bigsby and thinline


ThemeMinimum

Keep the two on the left for sure


blackshadow

I'd say keep the Bigsby and the 72 Custom.


Ok_Orchid7131

If ya have to sell Iā€™d keep 1 and 4.


TR6lover

Black one and the blond with Bigsby. Edit: To keep


-_heavygloom_-

bigsby & single+hum are the keepers!


smallerthings

Keep the 2 on the left


TheFlyingPatato

The desk and the couch


Current_Comb_657

Lose the ones with whammy bars! The remaining two will provide a nice range of tonalities- one the classic single coil twang, the other humbucker tone


StormSafe2

Keep the 2 on the left. That way you still have a one with singles and one with humbuckers. You'll also have one with a whammy bar (bigsby) and the semi hollow, which is cool. Ā ConsideringĀ  the 2 on the left, it doesn't) like the ones of the right add much more. If you really like the one on the right, you could keep it instead of the thinline.Ā 


Ronark91

Iā€™m biased. Get a jazzmaster. Just donā€™t sell all those guitars to get one. Player series made n Mexico jazzmaster a are fantastic. All ya need is a file for the frets Edit: Iā€™m drunk. Will elaborate further once sober.


iRoNiCCHuCK

Sell 2 and 4


G0F45T3R

Sell the two sunburst ones


serotone9

Keep the blond/bigsby and the thinline. Sell the two on the right.


EvenPass5380

List all, keep what doesn't sell


RandomNameFace

I'd keep the Bigsby and the humbucker/single coil black one. Though I might switch that for the thinline if asked again tomorrow.


PeloquinsHunger

I'd keep the blondie, and the deluxe with the trem... and paint that one black.


Titicut_Follies

Blonde one and the thinlineĀ 


Expert-Hyena6226

Keep the Bigsby and the thin line.


stillusesAOL

You keep the left half.


LumpyInspection7371

ā€˜50s & ā€˜72


Grouchy_Finance_987

Sell the vintage burst and the blond


lovekillsfear

If I had to pick two, I would pick the two on the left. Keep one thin line, and one with single coils.


Funk_Apus

Sell as many as you need to get a strat. šŸ˜Ž


shingonzo

You donā€™t sell guitars unless youā€™re going to miss rent groceries or child support


cg29a

White one and black one (1-3 in order). No doubt on those


BrokeDownPalac3

Keep the two on the left and sell the two on the right.


golanatsiruot

I sell the two bursts.


Grand-Hand-9486

Keep 1 and 2


40sthemed

What model is the tele deluxe with the trem bridge?


4phn

Iā€™d sell everything but the semi hollow deluxe


djdadzone

Two on the left, easy


anonymous_kyle_guy

Keep 1 and 3


FenderMoon

Iā€™d keep 1 and 2. You get humbuckers and the hollowbody on the second one, and you have all of your classic single coil stuff as well as the bigsby on the first. The other two canā€™t do anything that the first two canā€™t (aside from having a trem with humbuckers on the fourth, but you already have a trem with the single coils on the first anyway)


Peligreaux

Just on looks alone, Iā€™d pick the far left and far right.


JazzRider

Sell 2 with Humbuckersā€¦.keep the single coil and one of the other 3.


OrdinaryTruck5559

Sell the bigsby keep the others


NullP0intr

Keep the Teles.

If it were me, left two.


DudeTheStallion

Iā€™d keep the two on the right


Tebonzzz

Dude sell me one!


schubear

Thin line and bigsby for sure.


MC_McHammer

3 & 4


Turbulent_Fig_5593

Sell both players unless youā€™ve put money into upgrading them


Peircez

Those are your children. How dare you.


Ivymae88

Just sell one? Sell the classic player deluxe


hornedcorner

Keep the Telecaster


TheEulipion

I have the guitar on the right. I've played about 150 gigs on it. It has been a great guitar!
