So here they are following my well documented purchase from Thomann. First up is my first Fender, a Fender JA-90 Jim Adkins Telecaster. Specs: semi-hollow ash body, modern 'C' shape mahogany set neck, rosewood fretboard, 22 medium jumbo frets, 1x Seymour Duncan Vintage P-90 pickup & 1x Custom P-90 pickup, adjust-o-matic bridge, 648mm scale, 42mm nut width, matching headstock. Colour: Ebony Transparent Its beautiful - in some lights it has an almost green tinge to it. Quite light, fast neck and powerful pickups - only problem is that the nut at the bottom was a bit sharp when I first got it so scratched my hand a bit. Apart from that setup was great out of the box. The other one I got was an Epiphone Nighthawk Custom Reissue. The specs for it: mahogany body, AAA flame maple veneer top, set mahogany neck, rosewood fretboard, mother-of-pearl crown inlays, 22 medium jumbo frets, 648mm scale, Slant NHT humbucker (4-wire) bridge pickup, NSX single coil middle pickup, NHR mini-humbucker (4-wire) neck pickup, 5-way switch, master volume, master tone (with push/pull coil tapping), nickel hardware. Colour: Translucent Black Also very impressed with this one - another looker and I can get a serious amount of sounds out of it with the three different types of pickups plus the coil tapping.

Ooooooh Yeah. Two thumbs Up :applause: Congrats!
Lovely finishes, beautiful guitars. Now just get yourself a nice Fender case for Tele, because she's a keeper for sure. 8) Apart from some straplocks and a pro-setup there's not a lot you can do to make her better. She's damn near perfect allready ? Maybe some CTS pots and roller-type string tees somewhere in the future, but what she has now will get the job done perfectly. Tsk, now I bleddie want one as well ☹
