Nice feeling C shape, 7.25\" radius neck with vintage size frets. The wide range neck pickup is thick and warm sounding, while the bridge pickup provides the standard Tele vibe everyone loves. Lots of vintage touches like the F tuners, skirted amp knobs and ashtray bridge. The purple sparkle is a very rare color.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCherry on top is my detailed setup and bulletproof packing.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e NO case.

We spray out any pots that are noisy, turn the truss rod (if necessary) and set string height at low-to-medium action depending on string buzz present. Since setup is highly subjective you may need to get it set to your particular needs by your personal luthier.

I have a very high rate of successful guitar and bass shipping (meaning few damaged instruments). I have been doing this 15 years and know how to pack well--with or without a hard case. I wrote a detailed story with photos on how I pack a guitar, which you can find on my StillKickinMusic site blog. If you Google \"Still Kickin - How to Pack a Guitar\" you will find it.

I do a basic setup and cleaning on every instrument I sell, so depending on workload it may be 1-2 business days before your guitar ships. When it arrives you can depend on it being, clean, set up, and securely packed. Check my feedback for confirmation.
