I love HH Teles. I have two Schecter PT's that rock. Anyone have any experience with these MIM Style 2's?

I don't like that particular kind of guitar shape, but I love everything else.

Yeah. Not a Tele fan. As a hard rock guitar that is.
But a traditional tele is cool.

I have two em and PTs that sound amazing. I just put different pups in them and they rock. They are heavy Tele's and I can get some great LP and Strat tones. ...I love the Tele shape and may be looking to get one of these. My only concern is they seem to be lighter than usual, compared to my two PT's and my LP Trad Pro.

I think it would paddle a small Canoe just fine. It would fuel the campfire as well.

I had the style 2 USA years ago. Better tone than the strat style but upper fret access wasn't pleasant

Not a big fan of the Tele shape and imo the most redeeming quality of a Tele is the tone you get with that traditional Tele bridge and beefy single-coil. It's like what I always wanted a Strat bridge single-coil to sound like.

And they even make them without the dreaded floyd tone sucker!

Seeing if anyone has played these?
Bought one as soon as they were available. Got the red one. Although I had my mind made up in about 2 minutes, I played it for about 20 minutes before I called Sweetwater to get an RA#.
Feels cheap, sounded and played like crap. Extremely disappointed in the fit and finish and overall build quality. For $899 with no bag or case...no thanks.
I eventually found this one on Ebay. $875 with the original bag, a much better built, playing and sounding guitar.
The new MIM Charvels simply don’t compare to the old U.S. Pro Mods in my opinion and there are still deals to be had on these.
Again, just my experience and opinion. YMMV.
