NGD!! finally!! Mario Martin custom tele

Finally!! I have been looking for a new tele for some time now and just never found "the one". I think i did this time though. Its an earlier model Guitar Mill custom T, coke bottle green finish, hot fralin pickups with 2% over wound bridge pickup, big and chunky quarter sawn soft V one piece maple neck, swamp ash body, 4 position selector switch, brass compensated saddles. the part i love the most is it weighs exactly 6 pounds. its also got double binding, all nitro finish and color matching headstock. so what you guys think?

Not exactly sure. This probably sounds crazy but i have not even plugged it in yet much less dive into it. I bought it yesterday and had to work last night. the build sheet just says "high output fralin tele pickups with 2% over wound neck pickup"

I can't wait to finally plug this thing in tomorrow and put it through its paces. Wonder what the output on those pickups are?

Congrats. I too owned this guitar but only for 24hrs., then sent it back.

Didn't bond with it and the color difference from the retail listing was way too dramatic. If you want other specifics, shoot me a PM.

Otherwise, enjoy and congrats again...

My shot...
