close. Lose the gold and throw on a tort guard and yes.

 

[Tig]

Love the neck and trans blue finish.
Loathe the pickups, gold HW, "almost straight" neck, and initials scratched on the plate.
While not a maple fret board, at least it is ebony instead of rosewood.

 

[jaxn slim]

That's beautiful. Kind of heavy for a thinline, though.

WTF?

 

[335clone]

not the tele for me

 

[IamSeaDevil]

No thanks

 

[Denverdave]

Not too bad. I owned a Blade - played and sounded great but the neck was too small.

hate the finish, and the hardware. I'll pass on this one.

 

[Modern Saint]

I'll meet you half way on this one

 

[Help!I'maRock!]

So close, yet so far away.

 

[jelloman]

There are two things, and only two things, wrong with it...

 

[LeftyTom]

Good for parting out, perhaps.

 

[Flamencology]

Meh.

 

[Prages]

There are two things, and only two things, wrong with it...

The wood and the metal?

 

[PunkKitty]

Very nice.

 

[jelloman]

The wood and the metal?

Close...

It's blue...and it's a Tele...

 

[DFB]

No thanks.

 

[vintage clubber]

other than the gold hardware failboat, I'd rawk it!

 

[Gorgon90]

Concerned about the neck being 'almost straight' but otherwise that's the hottest Tele style guitar I've seen for a long time.
