With all the promos and reviews out there I really don't feel I need to post a picture. Plus I've not taken any.
Regardless I just bought one in a local deal so good I simply couldn't pass, brand new, still with scratchplate plastic. Initially selected from Wildwood for the original buyer and 3 weeks later sold to me. A deal that absolutely suits me fine.
I've not bought anything but Gibson & Memphis Custom Shop since the 90's, having several CC and Sig models. My only Fenders are a '76 Tele Custom and JV Squier strat, nothing remotely new. I've not played any modern Fenders as I'd no interest in them. Saying that I really can't figure out how this USA production JP tele could be any better if it were a Fender Custom Shop model. There must be something between them, but I've not seen either in person until this one. 'Journeyman/relic' FCS I assume will have that broken in feeling similar to my CC Shanks. The fit and finish on this are excellent all round, as are the appointments. There's plenty of reviews on these so there's nothing more I can add. I'm simply really, really impressed by this guitar. I trust others' here have bought one or at least tried them. Your thoughts ?
Cheers
