Sound
:
9
I play blues, rock, pop with a Laney pro tune and a Roland Bolt 60 and use a Boss GT-6. I bought this guitar as a backup for my custom strat, but also to give me a brighter tele sound. This guitar rings like a bell and with the VSC you have increased flexibility when it comes to tonal range. The single coils tend to be noisy when used in a high gain situation except when used in the middle pickup selection position (sort of acts like a humbucker). I have ordered some Fender Vintage Tele noiseless pickups which should do the trick nicely
Action, Fit, & Finish
:
8
This guitar was set up pretty well when when I got it new. However I just had a fret job and a pro setup. It feel gret now. The neck had a slight bow but this corrected and is now "within tolerable limits". Guitar Works in Adelaide do a great job. It has a great vintage cream finish and the neck is wonderful with a nice low action. All in all a very nice guitar
