Thanks for vouching for the guitar and providing a stellar pic. Much appreciated, Tig.

I really dig this guitar and will probably replace it if/when fortunes swing my way again. There are few Teles and Tele clones that rival this beast--and none in the same price range.

I play jazz on this neck pickup. Jazz! On a Tele neck pup! It's probably the most tonally versatile guitar I've ever owned. Versatility never springs to mind when people discuss Teles.

Nothing but butter, this one. I actually use the Tone knob and have a few favourite levels for each pickup position. It's really raised the bar on my standards.
