Sounds pretty durned good, too.
I automatically love any guitar with P-90s, but this one is Tele-shaped AND thinline AND mahogany and whoa yeah.

Yeah, even the pickguard is pretty cool. I'm not usually into modified pickguards, but they've managed to keep this one classy... not too over done, with some neat touches.

Extra two knobs?
I'm guessing each pickup has its own volume & tone.

You mean extra as opposed to a regular Tele setup? Yep, there are two knobs each for the pickups, tone and volume. Pretty much just like a Les Paul.
I dig it too. No case, but still looks like quite a deal.

I'm not sure which fills me for more longing, that guitar or CBA's avatar.
But really, that's one sexy guit-box. I'd play such chunky funk with it.
But really I'm a humbucker-at-the-bridge, single-coil-at-the-bridge kind of man. Actually, I have one guitar like that (Schecter CSH-1 with diff. p'ups) and one that's the exact opposite (SH Jazzmaster).

That pickguard and the 4 knobs is pretty standard with the semi hollow/deluxe tele's is it not?

Dang that's a sexy guitar. I've been wanting a new bass but maybe I should just buy one of these... Fender have really nailed it and made some awesome guitars the last 2 years.

The Squier Custom IIs that I tried had really awful necks. I know a lot of peeps on this board sing praises, but I didn't like the neck, specifically the fretboard.
If I get another (sold my Casino) hollowbody with P-90s, it will probably be a higher-end Epiphone Casino or maybe even the Nick Valensi model.

the necks a little chunky feeling for my taste but the sound is worth putting up with. When I need p90s anyway.
The gargantuan frets are another slight annoyance. just like most affordable guitars a proper setup and fret level will do wonders.
