"Knobs"

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I've been playing one of these at a local shop for a few months now. I've noticed that the knobs go from Zero to Loud with only the slightest adjustment. Kind of wondering if the pots are right handed wired to turn lefty?..There doesn't seem to be any taper to allow for lower volumes.
Sound
Something about bending the high E string just resonates SO BEAUTIFULLY. Chambered body ftw
Features
I'm used to my Jazzmaster so the single tone knob is a huge bummer for me..
Ease of Use
I have not been able to get a bad sound out of it. Believe me...I've tried. I want the guitar but part of my process is trying to talk myself out of things and I haven't been able to find any reasons.
Value
I've played MiM Teles that I don't like anywhere near as much as I like this thing. Super good product in the price point.
The Wow Factor
I don't come across many lefties and this one speaks to me..she HAUNTS me. I can't stop thinking about her.
