Its a lovely sounding Tele with Handwound pickups by the legendary Abigail Ybarra, both neck and bridge have just the right amount of push for a vintage Tele and not harsh as some are... Neck profile is simular to a large "10/56 V" feeling comfortable with 7.25" radius and vintage frets and suits it well. Its clear this is a Masterbuilt guitar, from the soft feeling rounded edges of the fingerboard to the very authentic finish and the killer Tele tone!
