Nice price, black bound is so smart. How does she play and sound?
Well Stud, I finally got her home, cleaned up and oiled the fret board, put on a set of XL110's and fired her up. Eeeeee...too nice - 'Maningi Nice' as they say here! Very different from my old '68, a definite difference in output between the front and rear pick ups but a beautiful blend in the middle position and the rear pickup is good too. The neck and fret board feel quite like my Strat. I'm very happy indeed. She's really smart looking too!
I can well imagine. Superb find, Enjoy! (I wouldn't be surprised if that Jap tele starts getting preferential treatment)
