Lately, I've been craving a JM-type, but not a Jazzmaster... so this checked off a lot of boxes. It also helps that it's pretty reasonably priced.
The seller's a store up in Tampa, so realistically if it ships out tomorrow, I could have it it in my hands by Wednesday.
Here's the pics from the reverb listing:

Looks super sweet. Do you still have G&L Tele?

Hopefully dots will be back from his birthday bender by then and the site will be up and running.

I didn't - I couldn't get along with it and sold it forward. I still have my Fallout, which is by far my favorite guitar.

And it arrived. I've only had a few minutes to play it, but so far I like.
The neck feels almost identical to my Fallout, so that's good. The pickups are clear and glassy, but a bit fat. They're closer to a Tele than a Jazzmaster, but that's not a bad thing.
And pics!
(I thought it was funny, a guitar box in a little car)
and the guitar

When I return from my quick holiday weekend, absolutely.

Like.
Usually, without the traditional trem I think the body looks a bit empty but there's plenty of other nice features on that to distract the eye.
Do you get any staining on your fingers with the neck inlays?
Someone I know has a RIC bass with black block inlays on a maple neck and he says it's common. I'd never heard of it before though.

None -the fretboard is actually finished.

They complement each other very nicely. This weekend's project is installing two guitar hangers on my wall (well, Monday's now - MF shipped the wall hangers late), and the G&L's have earned their spot on the wall. My bastardized Vista Jagmaster stays in a gig bag.
