Loving the colour and the 'thick soft v' spec and 9.5" radius on that Tele
Are tight-radius fretboards a "thing" at the moment? Lots of people enthusing about them all over the place.

Hadn't clocked that but wouldn't be surprised. My Tele is 7.5" and I've long been used to 'vintage' radius but getting the action sweet without choking, esp. on the top E, is a pernicketty affair on this guit... slightly more than usual - not that I'm much of a string-bender, but the potential to get a slightly lower action would be nice. Hence fancying a go at 9.5" I suppose.
I know sometimes clever repairfolk can file a touch of compound radius into the upper reaches of a board, maybe I should look into it...

Golly, MIJ is spendy now though... I still think of a Japanese bound 62 Custom Tele as basically a £600 guitar. Sigh.
