"Fantastic Guitar!"

I have a small, but carefully curated collection of guitars. I can't/don't spend big bucks on each guitar, so I want to make sure whatever I get ticks a lot of boxes and, for me, this is perfect. It's light weight, super comfortable (has both arm and belly cuts) and plays like a dream. And with all the super thin necks that are so prevalent today, it's nice to find something a bit more standard for those of us with bigger hands. I did upgrade to locking tuners, but I don't think I'll be touching the pickups. Overall a great pick for a T-style daily player!
Musical Background:
Have played guitar for my own enjoyment for about 30 years. No stage experience.
Musical Style:
Rock, metal, ballads, and 'singalong with my kids' tunes. Mostly old school stuff at this point.

"Stellar value!"
This guitar punches far above its weight class. It's on par with a Mexi Tele or G&L ASAT, if not better. Out of the box the intonation was near perfect. The fit and finish are far better than you'd expect at this price. The frets are smooth, the neck is smooth and easy to navigate, and the paint is immaculate! Having said all that, the electronics are where this really shines. All switch positions give you a clear, and articulate sound. The real magic happens when you hit that 4th position though. I've been playing for over 30 years, and I'll tell you that 4th position sounds JUST like a humbucker! I haven't found a style of music this thing can't tackle. And by that, I don't mean "passable". I mean TACKLE. This beauty covers jazz, pop, country, metal... Everything! I'm going to get another just so I can have alternate tunings live. And the finish...oh my! It is stunning! I get compliments on it every time it leaves the house. It's absolutely gorgeous. If you're looking at this vs bigger name brands, just get this one. You will not be disappointed!
