This is a fantastic guitar. Plays wonderfully- action is good, frets are great. Slightly chunky neck which I like more than I thought. Very easy to jump to chords from anywhere on the neck. The secret agent pickup is a little quiet compared to the bridge, I will try to adjust bridge pickup height so there isn’t such a dramatic difference in volume when switching between the two. Bridge pickup is great, good Tele bite but can get nasty in a good way when rolling the gain up. Will definitely handle blues and hard rocks sounds. Super lightweight, by far the lightest electric I have ever had. I am NOT a fan of factory aging but the road worn isn’t excessive. The black sparkle is cool and the paisley pick guard is great. Wish the whole body had been sprayed instead of fake wear on the finish but I can’t complain too much because I still bought it! Overall a great guitar.
