I've wanted a Jason Isbell telecaster since they came out, and having seen him play his own which this model is based off live I was curious to see if it would carry the same character.
Unfortunately the first order hand to be returned due to some damage that must have happened during delivery, but Thomann shipped a new one out to me very quickly and its replacement was perfect.
The first thing i noticed when taking it out of the gigbag was the roadworn neck; it feels amazing and smooth in your hand.
The double binding is a really nice touch.
I was very impressed by the aging carried out to the finish, it feels like i've owned the guitar for years and gives loads of character.
Playability is amazing, the setup was great coming out of the bag. No sharp frets and nice action.
The modified bridge is a nice feature having owned other vintage telecasters in the past with regular ash trays I can say that this is much more comfortable.
Sound is nice and clear, nice warmth and the pickups work great with a bit of added grit
