I've got the sunburst version and I like it a lot. Great clean tones, although the neck pickup is too microphonic to use the neck or middle position with loud gain. The bridge pickup is nice and growly, it has a lot more "spank' than the single coils in my Ibanez. Neck is good, not super thick but chunky, although it was a bit thin width-wise at the nut for me so I replaced it. It stays in tune really well, the tremolo is really smooth and the graphite(?) nut is very slick. For the price it's definitely a lot of guitar.
I noticed these too and they look really nice. Don't have any experience with them though. I'm wondering now that GFS are making Jazzmaster pickups if they will make a model with real Jazzmaster pickups in it?
i've heard varying things about these guitars...i think that the quality control varies alot. some people seem to love em, while other people that i know that have owned them have had to change the tuners, neck. bridge, pickups, etc.
i really like the way that the telemaster looks...pretty legit. i'd get one in two seconds if i knew it had a decent neck .
