Update on Chinese les

It is complete new hardware aluminum bridge tailpiece new tuners. New pots caps wiring and set of Seymour 59's , oh a new nylon nut. My friend is very pleased with this guitar, and I do feel you could take it out and play at our blues association Jams.

I put 10's on it and topped wrapped the strings my preference and his as well. This is the maybe third time ever I did the jimmi page circuit I think it is correct, quite few different tones, although totally different humbuckers in build with these 59's, my friend is totally into exact not sure what type magnets these seymours use as in A2 or A5 but a lot of it is the player. Playing it myself I think it sounds sweet even in coil tap kind of into houses of the holy quack. But then I have never been comfortable with coil tapped les. Apples and oranges if you want to sound like a tele , just an update take care all.
