I have this. It is a Squier Double Fat Tele. Solid mahogany body and neck, set neck, caved top. It had some kind of "Duncan Designed" humbuckers in it that had all slugs on all coils and no screw pole pieces that sounded pretty good. But I swapped those for a set of Iron Gear Rolling Mills and it is a KILLER blues machine!
My most recent acquisition which I call a Lescaster or a Telepaul. I blame Mike Rollett for this one.

My new Fender acoustic bass is an Indonesian build and my in-person instructor (who is also my luthier) was impressed with the finish and setup.
Didn't the detective work you and I did when you asked me to talk you out of buying it indicate that the guitar is made at Cort's Indonesian factory?
They build some good stuff!

Here is another "That's an incredible guitar",
After looking at the Sweet Water page, I jumped down to look at the specs. The biggest problem I have with Fenders are the smaller neck radius's is the smaller neck radii that usually end up on their guitars. And I was seriously impressed that the neck radius is 15.75 inches.
Hope this one is a keeper.
