It's funny you mentioned the author Hop, it's what kind of put me off this one http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Six-Decades-of-the-Fender-Telecaster-Bacon-Tony-New_W0QQitemZ320436558578QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Books_NonFictionBooks_NonFictionBooks_SM?hash=item4a9b81daf2 the author is a music journo. To be fair I'm not aware of his work, so I might still get it.

Good find. I have a Les Paul book written by him and have been looking for good Tele read. Thanks for the suggestion!

Both books are good, and necessary reading for any Telecaster fan. I refer to them as the Old and New Testament...the Six Decades book has a lot of good color picturs, the Duchossoir book has a lot of good info on identifying Teles from various decades through various features that vary slightly depending on the year. I own both, and highly recommend them. Very Happy
