This thing arrived in the mail today and I am absolutely thrilled with it. I've been lusting after either a deluxe or a custom for a while and pulled the trigger on this Fender Japan limited run "honeybee" custom after shipping out a couple of guitars that weren't getting a lot of love.
It's got an absolutely lovely satin chunky neck, really nice rosewood board, and the wide range humbucker in the neck really sings. I've always loved Japanese fenders but have often just assumed I'd have to replace the electronics and pickups. Doesn't feel like the case here, really pleased with how it sounds out of the box.
That is a hot ass guitar. Not a big tele fan usually, but that color combo is downright sexy. Congrats on the new addition!
Thanks! I'm not usually one for a traditional tele but this kind of feels like halfway tele halfway LP. Really surprised at how nice the tortoiseshell guard looks on the yellow - not normally big on Fender tort guards.
