Just gonna drop this hotness right here. I’ve wanting one of these in this color for YEARS but it was a challenge finding the weight and chunky neck specs I prefer.

Finally had one pop up in player condition and it’s an absolute killer. Maybe my best playing tele. The checking doesn’t show much in the photos but this one has some nice natural wear on it so I don’t have to obsess over it.

Congrats!! I ordered one of these in 2021, but after nearly a year of waiting for the thing to show up at my local shop (thanks Covid) I gave up and bought something else. Still want one of these though. Same colour and everything. :love

Curious to know how it feels, the frets in particular. I wasn’t sure if I’d get on with the fret size because I couldn’t play one before hand.

Yeah these were pretty much unobtanium new and there aren’t a ton on the used market either, especially in this color.

I can’t speak for all of them but the playability is awesome on this one. The neck is .86 at the first fret and 1.00 at the 12th. The frets are slightly taller than vintage frets but not giant. I think this is a great middle ground between vintage and modern.
