I've been playing six hours straight. I already had a Blackout Tele and am writing this review since the perfection and neatness of this semi-hollow Tele is something the world must know about.

I play this guitar through a Fender tube amp and love the results. The laminate maple frets are so smooth and fast, it almost plays itself. Is this the "perfect" guitar?
