Fucking hell, that is gorgeous....matttkkkk wrote: Tue Oct 04, 2022 3:21 am It's arrived and it's amazing. Like a gorgeous pastel ghost, almost doesn't look real. Plays beautifully - neck is slimmer but not slim, kind of midrange Fender profile, super glossy like some kind of polished stone, fretwork is superb. Sounds brassy and angry on the bridge (but not harsh, amazingly) and bell- or piano-like on the neck.
Hardware is a little less convincing, but I switched in an inexpensive brass-saddle bridge when I put on my usual 11-49s, stock one seemed cheap with blingy chrome. The tuners are a bit janky but the ferrules didn't fit other ones I had to hand.
Highly recommended.

They have em in Surf Green too. Very good basic Tele setup and they’re all routed for 3 pickups (bucker size, I believe). Begging for a P90 or a Filtertron.MoreSpaceEcho wrote: Tue Oct 04, 2022 9:09 am Yeah I want one of those and another one in Sonic Blue please.
Beautiful guitar. And I love, love Sonic Blue, though Surf Green sounds appropriate too.MoreSpaceEcho wrote: Tue Oct 04, 2022 9:09 am Yeah I want one of those and another one in Sonic Blue please.
We painted Seafoam green and olympic white (helps that we're in california) and have zero regrets. I like the sound of a shell pink bathroom. People are going to be desperate for colours in a couple years while every house is !#%#! white and grey these days. already feels dated. Fully support this!MoreSpaceEcho wrote: Wed Oct 05, 2022 9:16 am GAH Surf Green too? I"m going to need all 3.
There's just something about those colors that does me in. They all look good with a white pickguard, and generally I think those are the death of cool on most guitars, both my strat and tele got way cooler when I swapped out the stock white pickguards.
There was a Sonic Blue strat at my local shop a while back, I couldn't afford it and it was vintage spec (7.25 radius, tiny tiny frets), which is not what I like....I almost bought it anyway just to put it on a stand and look at it.
Anyway I told Mrs MSE our next house, we're painting all the rooms classic Fender colors. Shell Pink, Sonic Blue, Seafoam Green, Olympic White. You can't go wrong.
