It's another tele, a partscaster, but nothing like a regular tele. This one has a chambered walnut body w/maple top, maple neck, 500k Emerson wiring kit w/treble bleed, a Mastery M6 half bridge, a Dimarzio PAF Master bridge and a Dimarzio vintage mini humbucker neck.
It's a very bright, snappy, loud guitar acoustically, with great sustain. Lively is a good word. The pickups put it in SG territory. It's not as thick sounding as a Les Paul, just like an SG isn't. The bridge p/u is bright, articulate, low output but really BARKS. The neck p/u is just gorgeous. Clear, dynamic, articulate but woody. Does not mush out.
The Z28 loves it. My favorite setting is straight in....2-11-2. With a pedalboard, 10-10-11 keeps it mostly clean for the pedals to dirty up. AWESOME tones!!

Is there a guitar that DOESN'T"T sound good through this amp? :)
Sounds like a cool axe. Any Pics?

Dunno how to post pics. Used to have a way, what do you guys use?
It's weird. No way is this guitar twangier/ brighter than my standard single coil tele, yet it doesn't mush out at 3-3-3. The single coil tele actually has higher 7.8k and 7.4k pickups vs this humbucker one at 6.1k and 7.6k, but this one drives the amp better.

Finally got around to figuring out how to do pics.
The Z28 has totally claimed this guitar. At those settings, with nothing but a cord needed. Clean to mean with a twist of the vol knob.
Its weird. With the strat, I NEED the pedalboard. With the regular tele, I want the pedalboard. But with this one, all I want is a cord.

That is a beautiful shade of brown/walnut. Loving the humbuckers as well. My attention to detail also picks up on the toggle switch plate cover. Very nice touch!

Thanks. I actually put a regular chrome control plate back on it. It's a WELL built body, and with a hand rubbed Tru Oil finish, should naturally "relic" nicely. The only thing the builder did a little wrong was the bridge pickup, its not F spaced, so the low and high E strings don't line up perfectly with the pole pieces, but I can't find a sonic fault with it when plugged in, so I will leave it be.
