This guitar is just freaking sweet. All of the settings give top notch tone and it's just got that little bit of depth from bring thinline that gives it such a surprisingly more unique tone than you would think. Every position is absolutely beautiful. I play in a punk surf band and it is perfect but sometimes i play at church and it has this beautiful clear tone. The neck position is crisp and clear and bridge position is twangy and sharp. Mix them and you get this warm to hot crisp tone full of body. The rhythm position is all good reports too, just absolutely mellow and full. The neck is a full length i am pretty sure and as comfortable as fender is known for. The thing is an absolute beauty, turns heads and is the envy of my scene now. My only complaints are two fold: The screws in the saddly were loose when it was delivered to me but i just had my tech guy glue them in with some guiter epoxy or whatever and it has been smootht sailing. Also, and this is more personal preference but i guess warrants saying: the bridge is really meant for a finessed player. When i get into it and start hacking at the strings for a punk song the low E has a tendency to want to jump out of it's saddle. I am looking for a solution that doesn't mean i have to play less ahrd but it could mean i have to replace the bridge which would suck because its got a nice aesthetic. Again, if you are a light player with something called "technique" then it shouldn't be an issue.
