Fender Ultra Telecaster.

They sneak a parallel/series switch into the volume S-1 pot. Beefy bridge in this model sounds great in series with the neck. But, a toggle would be quicker to manipulate while playing.

So what’s the best way to do series/parallel, in your opinion? Pull pot, toggle, 4-way blade switch, or small gerbils inside the guitar with bits of wire and a strong sense of timing?

Where stresses lie will cause a ridge;
The bridge and glue undo.

Of rosy hue and name,
And scrape the lacquer down quite good
A new bridge for to frame.

Let’s try to guess how many of these will be on Reverb about 8 months after the “Get Back” series was released.

Not because they’re bad instruments - this Contemporary Hofner looks and plays well. Fretwork is good from the factory (couple high spots), and other than needing some tweaks it was good to go.

The reason these get abandoned is that they do not sound like any other popular bass. People see Sir Paul with it, and figure it’s good for any and all Rock ‘N Roll.

If you want a nuanced, warm, and almost microphonic tone, this is the tool for that. This customer is an orchestral brass musician - he knows tone. And he’s really happy with it.

Customer still hunting for accessories that nail it for him.
