New Black Tele Day!

Post by HNB » Mon Apr 09, 2018 4:56 pm

I got this in trade from preservation and I am pretty thrilled with it. It has a V neck which is a first for me. Definitely feels different from any neck I have played. Not a bad thing. :) Tuners work great. The neck pickup is pretty nice and warm and the bridge pickup is pretty high output. Both of them distort my Silvertone combo at only 1/4 volume. I like the quirkiness of it. It had pins in it at one point so there are holes in the upper part of the body. It has seen some things, I can tell. The metal pickguard is really cool. It is intonated perfectly. I like the Jaguar knobs. It is pretty straight forward. Sounds great and easy to play.
