Every Guitar seems to have a story with me NGD x 2

How do you find the more matched pickups compare to 'normal' Tele pickups?

So far I like it very much that said my Teles I run with a hotter neck pickup to get a bigger sound.
The neck pickup had more than a typical Tele neck and the the Bridge is not as bright and twangy as most tele bridge pickups ( also does not feed back ) If you have played a NF3 or a SAS NF you will like this guitar !!! it takes gain really well. and clean it is not as sharp sounding on the bridge pickup likely because its not mounted to a metal bridge. If your set up is for country it will sound killer if your EQ has more gain to it it will sound even better IMHO

Better to have than to regret not buying it, and we’ve all been there. The Santana is the one model that hasn’t drawn me in, yet……..

Everyone needs a Santana!

Since I have been asking for a PRS Tele since the Silver Sky came out I threw my hat in the ring early.
Well today was the day grabbed a ( former ) friend ( bad influence ) and headed to the shop , a couple of guitars to trade in hand , hoping to come home with a bit of cash in my pocket.
NOPE , Didn't happen that way , did the walk around as I waited for them to grab the NF53 and there were some killer guitars on the wall couple of nice CE24 and something in Blood Orange jumped out.
Went to the tryout room said, if I hate the NF53 , I have a second option.
After a couple of bad choices in amps I did warm up to the NF53 , BUT the other guitar was special and after the former friend did a better sales job on me than the sales guy I came home with both guitars and broke ( again )
SO This thread is worthless without pics so

So a New NF53 and a 2015 Santana Retro followed me home !!!
I am surprised the NF53 seems to have a one piece body as most of the reviews mentioned them having a 3 piece body just restrung and adjusted the setup small pickup adjustments make a big difference. it plays and sounds like a PRS not as raw as most Teles but I don't play a tele like a tele so its working for me so far.
Now the second one This Santana was love at first strum is all I have to say.
I'll post more about them both once I get more time in.
I must stay out of guitar stores for awhile.

Phantabulatimous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As some may know, I love Opaque (especially white) guitars. My Grandfather was an old school custom furniture maker and I certainly know the value and appreciation for some good wood. One piece loveliness!

My friend, I just LOVE THAT BLOOD ORANGE…..BRING IT BACK
