Korean. I'd liked to have seen a 50's RI, and a H1 Texas, but none were around. The H1 Texas specs out real nice, but I have difficulty imagining a much better P/U set than the Duncan APT's in the Lite Ash. I thought long and hard about a Japanese '52 RI, but the risks and delay just didn't seem worth it. You can almost get a used USA RI for the same money.
I keep having to fight back the urge to strip the body and refinish it in butterscotch blonde nitro. That would be hot, but would inevitably lead me to strip and refinish the neck in vintage amber tint, and then I'd have to hunt down a new decal.
Antonfan-my opposite from the parallel universe has been posting again I see!
It's not externally obvious, and I didn't mention it, but I also reversed the tone and volume knob, so it's V-T-switch. Leo Fender realized that knob was in the wrong place (well, due to all the Nashville guys flipping the plate over on their guitars) so that's why the Stratocaster featured the knob in the correct location from the factory. Volume swells are now possible, all the minute changes in drive are instantly accessible, and the tone knob is not too far out of the way, either. As Outlaws says, you are probably less likely to swat off the cap, and then gash your hand on the nekkid switch, as well.
There are some cool Telecaster forums where the control panel flip was shown but it wasn't stated why. The butterscotch blonde is THE original Tele color I think, to me anyway, but like I stated in an early post, the wood grain on that guitar is too great not to let it show with the clear coat.
