I missed out on one of these about eight years ago so I always kept my eyes peeled and then this one turned up. Not at a finically opportune time, but what the hell.
It plays like a dream, sounds fantastic – the rosewood on maple neck and the Arcane pickups add warmth and the metal body resonance. It can jangle, but it’s rather darker than a regular Tele so it does great blues and rock too. And what a look – pure rock’n’roll.
This goes alongside my Steinberger GM4T, Brian Moore MC/1 and Armstrong and Shaftesbury plexiglass models in the corner of the collection for ‘new materials’. Better pix coming soon, i.e. whenever I can put it down…
