The hits just keep on coming. Another MIM Fender product for me and they just knock it out of the park. A true detailed 60 with tone that is incredible. Of course I installed my LaBella Flatwound Short Scale strings my Schaller strap locks! Plan to gig with this one. A lot! Buy one, you cant go wrong. And props to the customer service for this company. They went above and beyond for me and kept me as a long time customer.
