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.

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.
