Yeah, I really like the Fano SP6, as you know, but there was just something about this Tyler...
I have to say, it doesn't feel Tele-like, it's very "Vorsprung Durch Technik". The chambered body and Gotoh bridge give it quite a warm, mellow tone, not chicken-pickin' at all.... which is fine! It's incredibly easy to play (even for me), the strings are supposed to be 10s but feel more like 9s (it may turn out that's exactly what they are, of course :lol: ).
And what a great neck! Fairly shallow at the nut, chunky at the 12th, and the fingerboard edges are so rounded-off they're almost "scalloped" between the frets.
My only gripe (so far, give it time... :roll: ) would be the pots - they're the really stiff type (CTS, probably) and it's very hard to turn them with the small not-very-knurled Tele knobs. I have some chrome Duesenberg knobs which I may try if they don't look too stupid.
