I just got this on Thursday last week and gigged with it over the weekend...
I love the newer Fender Wide Range Humbuckers but what really kills on this guitar is the big 70's headstock.
Seriously - I got it for $450 from the previous owner, who had put 500K tone pots and Sprague Orange Drops in it - and it sounds much clearer and brighter while still being 'bucker-y' than the stock Fender thinlines and tele deluxes because they use the 250K.
I used it for most of Friday night...alternating with my go-to Strat. I think I'm in love with my new gal! Just in time for the summer party-gig season I've got a tele that can hang with the Gibsons...or provide counterpoint to the Strat and Blackguard Tele.
