Love it
First electric guitar, couldn't be more pleased. C-shaped neck is comfortable, and the butterscotch colour gives it the classic telecaster look. And it sounds fantastic.

great 1st axe... good choice... its funny, I remember when the tele was the most uncool guitar known to man, everyone wanted a strat, now its the king again
Haha, Thanks man! Jimmy Page's Dragon Tele sold me, now I'm addicted.

the dragon tele is actually a 59 with an alder body and slab rosewood fretboard... I think it also has the rare top-loading bridge.... the pickups are also very different than modern fender pickups or anything made earlier in the 50s viz-a-viz number of wire turns, magnet grade and baseplate.... my favorite tele in my own stable is a partscaster I made to mimic the dragon tele in every tone-relevant detail but its top-loading bridge (I have a top-loader hady, but I much prefer the Rutters bridge I ended up with). It took a lot of research and a lot of custom-ordered parts, but I hit on a great rendition before tiring of myvintage Supro and tonebenders and abandoning all of my Page studio gear but this tele that turned out to be great for lots of other things from Roy Buchanan country work to early U2 covers.
