  • Great job as usual Mark. I really enjoy your reviews. That's also one of the best Telecaster models I think I've seen!

  • 24.75' scale length???

  • Is there any 'twang' on this guitar?

  • @danyjr thats jazz dude. but i get your point

  • ive never seen the natural look, thats so much better than the red and black one

  • Jimmy eat world come "todo mundo" rsrsrs
