Been a while, but I have a new member arriving in the next day or so. Been on the watch for another Tele style guitar. Love my Baha Tele for its diverse tones, but the pickups aren't very robust. Wanted something that will roar a bit more and still give me Tele bite -- compliment to the Strat sounds. Did a fair bit of reading and settled on taking a chance on an inexpensive axe.

Like the sounds of it, and the reviews I have read are all quite positive. No tone knob will be weird for me, but it'll be something new. If it doesn't work out, the investment isn't huge. I think it will though. Like the no nonsense approach of this guitar. Interested too to see how the barely painted body compares to the rest I have -- thin poly on the Tele, heavy poly on the Strat, nitro on the LP...

Slick is through customs and should arrive soon so I'll keep ya posted.
