Fantastic guitar. The Nitro Lacquer on the back of the neck can get a bit sticky at times. If you own Gibsons you know what Im talking about. Nothing some fine Sand Paper or Steel Wool can't remedy. The newly re-voiced Wide Range Humbuckers sound INCREDIBLE and the Nitro Lacquer finish combined with the 9.5" fingerboard radius makes this instrument even better than the original Thinline Tele's from the 70's (which has super thick Poly finishes and vintage 7.25" fingerboard radius' which commonly fret out when doing whole step string bends). This thing runs circles around the Made In Mexico model. Not even close.
