Great guitar, some set up needed

This is a beautiful guitar which sounds terrific. The Seymour Duncans are voice quite brightly, so in single coil mode, you get a real twangy tele sound (not exactly like a vintage tele); in full humbucking mode, these are seriously dangerous. They sound much like my Les Paul, but brighter. The frets needed work on arrival: a couple of high ones which meant the action was set needlessly high. Set up tech fixed that. In addition, the rosewood fingerboard was over "oiled," which left a residue on my finger until I worked it out. The set screws on the bridges are quite high and are bit uncomfortable while palm/bridge muting. No biggy, though. I change the tuners for Schaller/Fender locking tuners (tech did it, some drilling needed), so it's pretty much an "American" tele now. If you like the tele shape and a bright sound, which darkens up nicely with the tone controls and humbuckers, go for it!

Outstanding Value- Very Unique

This guitar is a real sleeper- Duncan pickups with coil tap and three-way switch, seamless set neck construction; this is a very lightweight axe. Beautiful/unique spalted maple veneer, and with string-through-body construction it has excellent sustain. Any guitar will need some setup from the factory, but this one was minimal- and has totally forced me to change my mind about the quality of Korean-made stuff. Its really more like a mid-level PRS as far as quality, features and construction. Best bang-for-buck I've EVER spent on an electric; I'd almost buy another. If you want a guitar with a wide range of tones, great looks, and durability, pick one up!
