It is svelte. Definitely less meat than my PRS CE with pattern thin. I've gone through a couple of phases already. Out of the box I was, "man this is fast and easy to play." Then to, "this neck is too small, I think my hand hurts." Then to, "ok, this is how the guitar wants to be played."

If someone is used to a beefy neck, this is the anti-beef. I'm currently digging it, but do find that subtle technique is better than ham-fisted grabbing the neck. I've been known to do both on occasion

This is a beautiful, well designed T-Type. I especially like the truss rod adjustment. I did some on line research and was struck by the features/price. I have owned a Grosh T, have Fenders, G&L, Anderson and a Ron Tracy T. I especially like the color but if I were to get another (unlikely at my age) I would have to add this in Surf green. The matching headstock color is a class act! -- Darwin

looks fantastic! the price seems quite reasonable for an American-made guitar too. i'm very tempted to pick one up since there aren't many T-styles with a forearm contour. i love the sound of a Tele, but dislike the classic slab body.

btw, how is that neck pickup? i've never played or heard anything that uses an alnico 6 before.

I looked for one for years.
Glad they decided to bring it back.

It sounds like a Tele pickup. It is more towards the crisp side of things, and I do notice that small changes in pickup height have significant impact on volume, and also influence tone.
