The neck features a ’57-style “soft V” profile, vintage compound compound radius fingerboard (7.25”- 9.5”) and 21 narrow tall (6105) frets.   We asked for the finish to be worn off of the back of the neck, giving it a great worn in feel.  Also, this one came out very light - it weighs in at just 6.5 lbs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot only is this an amazing playing and sounding guitar, it's a very cool, rarely seen color: Tomatillo Green.  It's not really a true \"green\" per se; it's more like a blonde with a tint of green added in.  We had never seen it before and fell in love as soon as we opened the case.  The Journeyman Relic treatment looks great on the Flash Coat Lacquer finish, which is very thin, allowing the guitar to breathe nicely.  It has just the right amount of wear - creating the appearance of a guitar that has been used but not abused.  We really like how the aging and especially the checking came out - be sure to zoom in on the photos.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Tomatillo Tele pickups are wired up to a ’51 Modified Nocaster wiring with a blender pot instead of master tone. We've found this to be a very useful set up for a Tele, allowing the player a variety of tones.  Additionally, for those that want to convert to a regular Tele set up, a Fat ’50s control assembly is included in the case for those who prefer that sound and style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOther features include a single-ply parchment pickguard, reverse-angle Nocaster bridge with compensated RSD brass saddles, vintage-style tuning machines, bone nut and disc string tree.
