They haven't came out yet but it looks good on paper.

I'm also eyeing up the Fret King country squire and various G&L ASAT variations.

So much gas. I think I'll wait until I get my HB build a Tele kit before I commit to a fancier one.

Cort make good guitars alright (both under their own brand and also as OEM for quite a few of the 'name' brands). But...what's with the truss rod adjustment at the body? I know it's a Fender vintage design element but it also a total PITA.

Hmm, I thought it was adjustable without taking the neck off unlike the traditional Fender one.

It does MartinB . I like it. I sometimes find the allen key at the nut to be a right bind. It's a bit easier if you have a long handled screw driver type but using those little throw-in ones often gives you little leverage and little travel between the tightly stretched strings so you are nibbling away at turning the rod. I always worry I'm going to slip and damage a) the guitar b) a string or c) myself... or d) all three.

Ah ok.. not so bad then!
