I've been a Tele fan ever since they came out in the 50s. As you know, I've owned quite a few guitars in all shapes sizes and colors since then. I gotta say that this is THE most ergonomically perfect guitar I've ever touched. It fits me like a glove and feels "right" in every way a guitar can. To fully appreciate the tonal palate, it takes a really nice amp. I have several amps, and I believe my Dr Z Maz 18 is the one that brings out all my Classic has to offer. Since day #1 I have declared that my Blues Queen is my all-time favorite guitar overall. For some strange reason, I find myself grabbing up the Classic more than any of them, though. I've decided that it is because is the darn MOST fun to play of them all. It has such a perfect neck and feel to the whole instrument. And it is so light, I hate to put it down. This beast is head and shoulders above any other tele-style axe out there. The biggest surprise? How well it nails some fantastic jazz tones. I'm glad I went with the humbucker in the neck - it really made this guitar something unique in the harem. I wish every Tele lover could have the opportunity to play a Classic. You could name your price and still never live long enough to fill all the orders. You have outdone yourself, my friend.
