shyamalan: nice tele.. how did u shave it down? looks very good.. i suppose the gloss got taken off as well?

Hmmm.............i wld advise u scrap the TGM........i dun think its worth that much....unless u've tried and tested it urself. In that case, let ur ears do the deciding. I wld recommend the LP route tho.......if u can find a gd LP around ur budget. If not, the tele route. Besides the Squiers, check out standardvalue's new Timbre tele too. www.standardvalue.com.sg. Cheerz!

i couldn't adapt to the neck. Figured out some sandpaper work would be good . Yup the finish or whatever gloss stuff went off , i think i shaved off 1mm of wood. The tone sorta changed also la , sounds warmed with more punch now.

mine sounds abit like this , the 2 noteing intro.

Planet waves chromatic tuner pedal = $70 from mark
Full setup by Malcolm (www.mtlutherie.com) = $130

i had both in the end.
