Happy NGD!
Is the bridge routed for a humbucker?
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

ohhh is it fully Hollow? or more than partly hollow?

never seen a bridge like that before
There are still some that think the neck PU is moved to accommodate the extra frets which only proves they cannot detect the difference in length of each.

Still Semi hollow. Haven't looked close enough yet but I'm guessing its just a rout extension under the ash top. Incredibly light, maybe 6lbs?

Yes indeed!

That is a very fine looking Thinline (would love a super-chambered Thinline). Curious about the bridge - what is the advantage of the design, purely to allow for more chambering than with a standard bridge?

Either way, it looks damn cool.
Yes, M'Lady.

None. A solution to a problem that never existed. The top is very lively as a result tho?

Very happy with the tele. Used LPs exclusively prior to purchasing this. Don't touch my LP now. Mostly because the tele is so light :rofl: Getting old now.

It is not as snappy or twangy as a stringthru, solid body. It has a nice mellow, warm sound which helped with the transition from the LP.

Pick it up and play it nearly every day!
