  • It’s kinda like car models in a way, it’s pretty annoying.

    You already know what body style you want, so I recommend you start with new vs used, then aesthetics like finish and fretboard material. (For example, I knew I wanted a seafoam green telecaster with darkwood fretboard so that left me with exactly one model from one year lol)

    If you still have a lot of choices at that point, then you gotta look at the electronics probably. They’ll be offering different pickup combinations, different potentiometer configurations. If you play a lot of different styles you may want 2 pickup positions so you can change your tone drastically with one switch. You may also prefer to mess with your EQ on the guitar, in which case you’ll want to find a model with a bunch of knobs. And if you’re REALLY particular you’ll know what style of pickups you want, too.

    If that hasn’t narrowed it down yet, then maybe just throw a dart at the guitar center wall and buy whichever one you just damaged.
