I can't wait to see the pics.
Heavy overcast all day. I had to turn on lights in my living room just to see. Any photos would be just noise. Bugger.

It's a blast to play, tho'. Turns out that 32-year-old MFDs mellow out very, very nicely. The neck isn't as fat as I expected. Feels more like a Strat neck than a Tele. The rosewood is stunning. The depth of color...wow.

Definitely.

But when I hit a clam I hear it say to me, "I find your lack of faith disturbing."

The OSG new guitar thread with people asking for more pictures is the definition of "More talk, less rock." And personally, I'm here for it.

Congrats on the new guitar!

By twiddling the amp controls, I've been able to make it sound like a Tele, a P-90 SG, and a humbucker guitar. And, of course, its own beefy/cutting mojo.

Love it, Leo really knocked it out of the park with these. He was kicking ass to the very end.

Why isn’t this one on the Tele appreciation thread yet? Don’t argue that it’s not Tele enough. It should be in more threads.

aesthetically, that's late '80s in all the right ways (reminding me somewhat of a Rickenbacker 230 I used to have, but all better in all regards).
I'm sure it sounds and plays great, too. Congratulations on all fronts.
