Also it's routed for a neck pickup under the guard so you can turn it into a 'real' tele should you wish.
I found the tones weren't inspiring, positions 2 & 3 were very indistinct, I think it was designed to do rhythm on those settings and then back to position 1 for single note stuff.
If I were to have one again I'd probably change the pickup for one that can be tapped for hot/vintage and wire up the switch for tapping the coil.
Bottom line, nice guitar, brilliantly made, but look to swap the pickup to something better. It was really it's only let down.
Another option is to find a Tele you like, get an Esquire pick guard and re-wire it.

how bad is the stock pickup? i mainly play a ac/dc esque rock with a les paul but i've always wanted a tele and i would like something that can give a good bit of beef.

plus i had one in my basket this morning on GAK and they emailed me earlier offering me a discount if i rang up, anyone had this before? I'm not a big "use the phone" person so i've not rang them yet and like i said still undecided on colour.
Interesting. I wonder why they'd offer a discount for ringing up? It's not like an "off eBay" transaction where they might want to save on selling fees and PayPal charges.
I'm not a big phone person either, but I generally do with music shops because (a) there's usually some detail I want to check, (b) I don't trust them to actually have things in stock and (c) it's always worth asking if there's any chance of a further discount.
