Fuck some delivery idiots. I swear they make sure they are both stupid and thieving buggers before hiring them. I've had some poor experiences recently.

The guitar looks great.

The first thing i noticed is that the straplocks aren't fucking terrible like fender ones. I really like it, nice and twangy on the bridge and nice and warm on the bridge.

those are the nice strap buttons like my Lite Ash tele came with. Congrats on your teleish acquisition!

Thanks. I see a future with lots of teles. Teles with body changes. But theyll still be teles in their hearts.

Looks great! I def like G&L.

Am I crazy, or is that a ridiculous-ish good deal?

Yep, they ussually go for around 400 without a case used so this was a great deal

Nice one.

Planet Waves sell strap buttons like that, I think. I had some I was going to use on something but as they had a bigger screw I want to make sure I put them on the right guitar and don't change my mind.

That looks awesome, G&L know how to make great guitars!

How are the mfds?

Theyre really nice. I tend to use only one pickup at a time more than I would on other guitars. The neck gives a bluesy sound while clean. The bridge does everything you want from a bridge. Ill probably wire it for series switching.
