This is a contender for best Tele ive ever had. The tone, sound quality, playability of this thing is on par with the best ive played. Im no expert but I think something about the mahogany body makes this thing so light and so resonant and it comes through when playing as well. Not to mention it looks absolutely beautiful on top of that. This one is special dont miss out on it. Condition wise its pretty great id almost call it excellent but there are a few scratches that are enough for me to not quite put it as that, but its damn close. Theres nothing through the paint and nothing thats easily noticeable unless looking for it. I think it plays great as is but I still always recommend a set up and new strings to your specs upon purchase. Comes in the OHSC. Thanks for looking!
