I've had this a week or so now, but has taken a bit of time for me to get it how I like
First up, the neck is lovely - it looks great and has exactly the right amount of 'girth' for me. Frets the same, I'm presuming medium but I need to get the vernier out to check - can't be arsed.
It has a graphite nut that had some annoying sharp edges that were removed today. Also it needed a bit of shimming so I could get the action to where I like it - not blisteringly low but I don't want to try to hard.
Fitted one of Matt/Tonelounges pro control sets in there from another tele I have that is currently waiting on the list to be sorted - I fitted an new/old neck to it and its choking out. And now its much more controllable.
Pickups were supposed to be twisted tele but a brief check of the model numbers last week I think they are twang kings... (fnarr fnarr), could just be me though, danny?
They do sound great either way - cleans have definition and are articulate where they should be, dirty I can get full on RATM which is what I was looking for.
What you can't see in the pic above is the excellent checking the body has.... I meant to take some photos today but ran out of time and camera battery power.
Well worth a punt, and am a happy punter.
Presentation 9/10
Girth 9/10
3d/articulation 9/10
Mouthfeel 8/10 could be the strings need a bit of extra seasoning.
Proper pics tomorrow
It arrived unstrung so the strings are at a proper non eye poking length....
