I have one of these now. I really like it a lot. It plays really great and has a real musical sound to it. The neck is a very whiteish Maple and is a little on the thick side, but not overly so. The neck pickup needs to be adjusted up, but it doesn't have the adjustment screws like newer Tele's. I have to figure out how to adjust it. I like the way both PU's sound together and the bridge PU sounds very good also.
The finish is really Far-out, Man! This is one case where the poly finish is more desireable than nitro. It should last as long as I have the guitar.
The price was right and this is worth every penney and probably a lot more!
BTW: I bought one that was still in the box, but the display model was just as nice.
