This is a new 2003 model, with 24 frets. I've submitted other reviews on the Swing guitars and this one is is just as nice as the rest. It's a H/S/H pickup configuration featuring Swings own custom wound pickups. It has a 5 way switch with cool options yielding tons of usable tones. As with the other comments I've posted, Swing cuts no corners on hardware. The Floyd is Swings licensed version of the trem and tuners are nice Grovers. Love the spoke wheel adjustment at the end of the neck heel where you can asjust the truss rod without having to remove a cover and guess which allen wrench you need before attempting to adjust. My only preference would be a bent top/forearm contour version of this guitar from a comfort standpoint. The top is flat like a stock Tele.

Fantastic ! Great tones from both hums as well as the single. Not to heavy, muddy or bright. Pickups are well balanced and sound perfect. Wouldn't swap them out.

Have used this guitar in live situations, have also let other players use this guitar in large venues of 3000 + people and I've used it in small clubs. It shines in any situation.

Swing is great as far as Q & A, or Tech support. Hard to find this nowadays.

I'd have to replace this guitar asap if it was ever stolen. Love Swing guitars and really feel that soon they'll have a big following here in the US.
