Hi Stefan,
Happy NGD 
Great guitar and I wish you a lot of time together and also Happy NPD , it is the one that I always forget to order when I order something from Thomann ( since November 2021 
)
and then I am always aware of how little I play with the overdrive on my tube amplifier for a few days/weeks… and good for a while 
Have fun
Greetings

That clean red finish looks sexy.

I would be interested in how the physical Blues Driver pedal compares with the modelled version in the Katana.
Cheers,
Keith

Very nice Stefan! I do love a roasted maple neck and that’s a stunning colour! Looking forward to hearing it in action!

That’s a really beautiful tele. I have the same model - custom 60s CV but in olive green with cream binding. I love the red and black of yours. It’s the first time I saw that colour combination.
The 60s CVs sound absolutely fantastic and the neck on mine (also roasted maple) with laurel fretboard is perfect. I have 2 other guitars but always prefer the CV tele. It was a huge upgrade from the affinity. Play mine thru orange amps and the sound is incredible. I also am slowly learning how many different sounds you can get with those guitars. Playing it clean and then just turning up the pickup volume slightly and a bit more attack and it breaks up in a lovely controlled way. It’s addictive.
Red with black binding is the coolest!!! You will enjoy it.
Please give us a report on the pedal played with the tele. Was thinking of getting it.

Thank you everyone. Not had much time to play on the guitar yet as I’m still trying to get into the new routine I have with work.
@Majik Not had much time on the pedal yet Keith but what I have found is that the drive is better than what is on the Katana. I seem to be able to get a bit more bite out of it, if that makes sense? I do enjoy just being able to turn knobs. On the Katana there are too many options that I don’t know what they do. Need to invest some real time on the Katana when I can.
@Prof_Thunder You shared it didn’t you Ian? I know I have seen a post with an olive green tele. I do love the olive green colour but my red one just takes it. 
I’m looking forward to discovering what it can do.

Yes SgtColon I shared my photos of the olive green CV. I agree that the red and black is really something special.

Thanks for the ‘bump’ Mal
I had seen this, but forgotten to congratulate on the beauty, but meant to ask:
“Why do you need this when you already have a G&L Tele in butterscotch?”
Or is that just a stupid question?

I didn’t need it Brian. I just loved the colour and that is the only reason I bought it. but, man, it looks great hanging on my wall.
Thanks Mal.
I’m glad to see it matches the colour of your embarrassment 
Funny to think the tele I bought had everything I wanted except the colour. Do I have to get another now?

That sounds like a wonderful birthday present from your sweetie! Renting a guitar in a different finish, such as Sunburst, can offer a fresh perspective and new inspiration for your playing. It’s great to hear that you’re enjoying the guitar and exploring its sound and feel.
Of course you have to. What a silly question. 
I’m a bit late but congrats that’s a great looking Tele.
Of course, I may be biased as I have MIJ Fender Tele in the same colour!

I have that same model that I keep in five-string open G just like Keef. It sounds absolutely great for that kind of music!
