Welcome to the forum and congrats on the new awesome guitar!

I have a 2009 that looks pretty much exactly like yours. Mine is one of those guitars that just has that extra something. I have put this up against a bunch of single cut guitars, several of them being Les Pauls. It has come out above all of them for tone. It just has a great tone and feel to it. Mine has the set of old school 57/08 pickups that came stock in it. Some of these pickups are just magical. My Ted is one of those guitars that just went together right.

PRS shoulda stopped with the Ted.

I like to be transparent haha. I traded it for a custom shop Fender Tele. And thanks!

I want to confirm what one of the other commenters said: you definitely won on that deal. Fender Custom Shop Telecasters are great too, but they are available all day every day- used or new. You can easily find others if you decide you want another Telecaster at some point.

I own a Ted SC245, all original with 57/08 humbuckers. To me, it is such a better guitar than the Gibson R7 Goldtop Les Paul Reissue I used to own: the feel, the sound, the neck carve, the large frets, upper fret access, the pickups… There is not one thing about the R7 that I preferred over the Ted SC245.

In general, I do like Gibsons too and I currently own a very nice 1960 Reissue ES-335.

Not sure if I’m allowed to say this here, but I’ve had to list it for sale unfortunately :/

Trying to snag a dream Matchless amp I’ve always wanted and sadly this is on the chopping block.

Well, you are allowed to say that here, but there are consequences ;~)) Just joking of course, but man that is a beautiful guitar to have to part with!! Best wishes on snagging that Matchless!!!
