First Tele-like. pleasantly surprised by the access to the highs. I expected worse. Superb and well finished, rather heavy. The pickups are fantastic, but even with the split, you won't get the twang of a Telecaster. The action was a bit high on arrival, (for now I haven't touched it, it's good for slide), I just adjusted the intonation. The neck is not super thin style, it's not a log either, but the satin finish is very pleasant; the color, however, leans quite strongly towards yellow and it's less happy to my taste. It sounds, it makes you want to play and that's the most important... The same with a slightly less "Classy" finish and a Bigsby and it would be paradise!
