Plays great and the neck is lovely although not really had much time with it . Sounds a lot harsher than I was expecting, I'm wondering if it's the steel saddles? Could be the new stainless frets or graphite nut also i suppose?? I didn't really get to play it before it left as when i went to re string it the nut fell in half! I'll have a proper play tonight and compare it to my other Tele as I've mostly been using a Gibson with P90s so my ears may have become re tuned.
I bet the re-fret has seriously enhanced the playability - Those mini frets under lacquer or just so 'orrible IMO
I would not suggest re-fitting with late 70's p/ups - To fierce, clangy and thin with no balls/body at least IMO - I did a conversion a few months ago for a customer with a 70's Tele and now he has Oil City Honky Tonk Angel's in it and it has seriously improved the tone
Enjoy it
Love it, fantastic colour - near identical to the burst on a Tele @lamf68 is currently doing for me.
As a 70's baby myself what year is it?
After decades of dismissing Teles as fit for Country, Status Quo and nothing else, my eyes have been opened to them in recent years and now I wouldn't want to be without one
