I love my tele for jazz. I use 6 saddles and set intonation with a Peterson Flip tuner and then tune with a clip on. I usually check tuning with a favorite Em9 voicing 075700 to balance open string vs fretted because I use open strings frequently for a full effect. I think I have 10's on t now...
just acquired a Sano 500 RC. very clean onechannel was working but now is not. think it's bad tube socket connections but a schematic would be great. it has 6 pre amp tubes, 3 6025, 2 AX7 and a 6FQ7 and two 8417 power tubes .
