The easiest answer to why we love this is: because we simply love Telecasters! But, that's not why you're here. This is a Koll Telecaster which is a) super rare and b) super interesting because Saul Koll doesn't really make copies of, well, anything.

The reason you should be excited about this guitar, and why we were, is that Saul's guitars all have an incredibly easy playing, inspiring, and musical feel - and to have that directed at the classic Tele is very, very cool. The neck is slightly atypical for a Tele - Saul's guitars draw inspiration from Gretsch and Gibson Juniors/Les Pauls (to name but two) - which means this neck is more in the Gretsch world. Slender, yet enough meat on the bones to be comfy, and ultimately, very sleek and easy on your hand.
