About 8 months ago, I picked up the semi-hollowbody version of this guitar
in sea green. I have an old 1954 Ford Pickup in the same color, and my goal
was to mount this on a gun rack in the back window since the colors were
pretty much the same. Haven't gotten around to that yet.
Mine has the maple neck and a pair of hummers as opposed to the two single
coils.
Sound is fine, but the tuners are almost impossible to turn. I also have
some small intonation problems, and someone I play with on a somewhat
regular basis mentiondd that he thinks that the neck is a bit warped.
This guitar is the reason that I will never purchase another cheap guitar
without trying it out first. But then, I didn't really buy this to be
played a lot.
This guitar is also the reason that I won't buy a tele-type guitar. If it
is indicative of other Teles, the neck dips a bit too low for my liking.
