Jonathan Wolske
from Las Vegas, NV
January 30, 2011 Music Background:
Cover bands (12+ years) and contemporary worship music (over 15 years), I've got my 10,00 hours in, that's for sure!

The perfect combo for my needs!

I am a songwriter and worship leader. I was choosing music each week to suit either my Garrison acoustic or my LP electric and on the odd occasion, I'd actually bring both. At NAMM 2010 I saw this axe and immediately started drooling. My wife got sick of having to mop the floors, I guess, since she got it for me for Christmas.

After having a month with it in action I can truly say that I am extremely pleased with the sounds of the acoustic side of the guitar. They are clean and cut through, but not overly Piezo-y and can be tamed very well with the tone knob.

The 'Twisted Tele' neck pickup also does very well. I expected it to be very brittle, as my previous experience with Tele's has always left me going back to my Les Paul... I am happy to report that the tone is also nice and useable, although the level output is far lower than my other single coil guitars.

Blending the two sounds together creates a nice full rhythm sound, and I don't have to worry if a guitar player doesn't show up. Switching between the two 'on-the-fly' was instantly a natural motion just like switching pickups.

The neck is a little wider than a standard Tele neck, which suits me fine and the construction seems to be very good (of course, it's a Fender). My only concern is that setups are not going to be as simple as with an ordinary electric, but I'll let my tech figure that out.

Our Customers Say...

My Sales Engineer is the best. If I need it tomorrow, I have it tomorrow. He makes sure everything is in order and that I'm set up right. I've spent a lot of money at other places, too, but I don't remember them calling me to make sure everything's okay.
