Two other things:
First, Apparently said friend played with Order of the Owl last night in Allentown. Guitar sounded amazing. Never even really put 2 and 2 together that It was going to be order of the owl til yesterday
Second, My band's recording Engineer got his Monday for an order he placed back in September. Even at the 8 months for that I think that's still "short" on a wait time.
That's his. I got to play it on monday at his studio. It was the first time I've actually gotten to play one at all or even hold one. The necks on them are so thin and fast feeling. Action is perfect, and it just feels smooth as butter.
The lucite body? Holy fuck that guitar must be 15 pounds. It weighs as much, if not more than our bassists Gibson RD, and that thing is a Tree (its, i think, a 78 or 79.) I'm glad i got to play it though, I never knew if i wanted one, but my GAS told me i did. Now i have gotten to play one, and I don't think my GAS will win this argument any time soon
As much as i loved the neck, i didn;t love it THAT much
That's a stunning guitar, truly. But I hear you on the description. It's been a worry of mine and probably why I never could stand firm long enough to afford one and order mine. I still really want an EGC, but I'll be sticking to wood guitars for the moment.

I loved the esquires and the SD loaded one definitely sounded amazing but I NEED a neck pickup for lead lines. I gotta have that thick heavy tone and the esquires while sounding great with dirt couldn't pull off the lead tones I liked. What's funny is I was talking on FB to ChristianATL, he wants to build an esquire telemasterw/ a broadcaster and esquire switching. Sounds pretty beast to me.
A Telemaster with a broadcaster single coil and Esquire switching sounds awesome. Christian has sweet taste in guitars. I'm disappointed he never visits us here.

I think i'll stick with wood guitars for quite some time. I hear what you mean about the extra sounds... and thats a big fear of mine as well. Something about the way i pick seems to accentuate twangyness/pluckyness of guitars. We've discussed. It's why i can't play fenders, all i do is twang and jangle. Gibson necks and others (basically mahogany) deaden that part of my picking. Why i like those more. I fear an aluminum neck would just hurt my brain.
I've been playing my Telecaster mostly recently. Maybe it's because of the old strings on my Ibanez Artist, but it just has a livelier bounce and spring to it. The Ibanez plays better, but the Telecaster has more clarity. I appreciate both styles equally, but the Ibanez is more comfortable and playable. The Telecaster is, however, lighter.
