A Guitar And Gear Support Forum

This was my first electric and what got me to AGF. I got this in Jan. or feb. of 2017 for the princely sum of $170 shipped.One piece ash body with forearm and belly cuts beautiful grain and a chunky flame maple 1 piece neck with heel adjust truss that works backwards .One stock pic will follow as I can't get to the house for pics fos another couple months.I had the local luthier set it up after a couple weeks as the nut needed cutting and the neck needed adjustment and I wasn't sure of myself.He played it upside down to check it it's a lefty. He was surprised at the price. It has a full c neck. Similar to a 60 taper on a Gibson but fuller in the cheeks so that it rounder.The pickups are not tele twangy but nice sounding the steel saddles could be part of the untwangyness.The body felt perfect for me but the neck seemed a bit too thick so I set it aside for awhile, 6 months later it fit but it sees little play because honestly I just prefer LP types or lp customs.

Ash teles are hot!

I have that in right handed and tobacco. But mine is a 2 piece body. I thought the 1 piece body all had heel truss adj? I was tempted by the 1 piece bodies but My std strat and my ash furrian are so impressive already I felt greedy trying the rondo lottery again. I was unlikely to do better than I already had but if they were as good or better I'd need to sell one set just for space and sanity and then I'd really be screwed.

I like my Leo, the neck on my 1st one had an issue with bad fret sprout, but the 2nd has been largely unaffected.

I swapped out my trem for a Custom Shop Parts Convertible hard tail bridge and made it an HSS and yet I barely play it because I have too many other strats that are higher on the proverbial play list.

[mention]nomadh[/mention] yes it's heel adjust the kind you completely pull the neck to adjust. However in 3 years it's never needed adjusting other than setting the actio to begin with.
