So its been 8 months... Hows she playing?
Honestly? I'm still infatuated with it. It's cemented itself firmly as my main guitar.
It's honestly just a comfortable guitar to play. It's lightweight with great balance on the strap and the neck just fits my hand perfectly. Being slightly thicker the gentle V shape just fits my hand so snugly.
Sound wise it's just so versatile. As I am (was) mostly a single coil player I absolutely love the TV Jones pickups. They're hotter (especially the classic+ in the bridge) but they maintain beautiful clarity. I can get lovely thick clean tones in the neck, chimey middle position tones and surprisingly twangy bridge positions sounds. And they're very dynamic. Using my amp11 set for "hair" into a clean amp I can milk a lot of dynamics from the guitar just with pick attack.
Add a little gain to the mixture and it gets better. They're dead quiet, because 'buckers, and they just sing. I never really used my bridge pup on the strat, on the tele though, it's magic. Bridge pup and tube screamer is great... it cuts really well. Stack the tube screamer with the OCD and it sings!!!
Since I've been running this setup I've had barely even had a passing bit of GAS. It just does what I want it to. I'm running the guitar and pedals into a clean fender voice amp, but I really want to hear it through a marshall at some point though... ?
