Almost as good as my Nocaster... or maybe even better.

This guitar is based on the original 1961 Tele but has few modern touches such as 22 jumbo frets, 12" radius (not certain) and a 1-piece maple neck/fretboard with black micarta dot inlays.

Original '61s featured a a slab rosewood fingerboard glued into a 2-piece maple neck with 21 vintage frets, clay dots and 7,25" radius, so I think it's a 1961 Telecaster LTD.

Do you have the exact specs sheet?

You'r right on the money, incl. modern 4-way gut bucket switching (which I think is useless)
