Ohhhhhhhh man, my eyes are throbbing, that's pretty much exactly what I would want it to look like.
Now throw an ebony neck on there instead of rosewood and we're in business.

My roommate just asked me if I wanted this Takamine Jasmine series guitar because he 'didn't need it anymore'. I obliged. The action's a little high for my liking but it has nice tone and it was free so I can't complain.

Nice. Good guitar to learn slide on. Although I'm sure the action could be lowered if the neck is ok.

I have a guy who does $30 setups who I'm going to talk to about just that.

Nah man, rosewood body sammich, and the one piece rosewood neck make it for me. The maple(?) meat in those rosewood teles make them really sexy feeling/sounding.

Looks like the Tele George Harrison played during the let it be sessions and during the rooftop show. I stared at that guitar for about 30 minutes at thr R&R Hall of fame.

You just have to sand down the saddle a little bit. Start by trying 1/16".

What DAW do you use?

He might not even have to do any sanding. There might be a shim (or two) under the saddle in the saddle slot or glued to the bottom of the saddle. Pull out the saddle and have a look.
