The question for me is, whether the Fusion T 25th or the similar Pro Series Fusion T HH HT FBB.
I prefer a hardtail. And from what I can read, the Wilkinson Trem on the Anniversary model, may be a bit of a PITA (Lock down screws as opposed to springs ?)
Prefer the veneer flame to the "firemist", but that is not a biggie...
But I have a sneaking suspicion that the Anniversary models, will get flamier/ stripeier necks than the "old plain" Pro Series
Pickups, I like the Roswell SC and P90's I have , but the Tesla sound good in HB
Any thoughts? Actual experience with either ?

I hope not because the SC400T Goldtop looked pretty awful in person - at least a few years ago ehen I immediately returned it.
If I look at G&L Firemist models they look exceptional IMHO.
Why oh why is there no SC with P90s as a 25th model!? ðŸ˜

Gibson must be wielding the big stick, even in the paint colour department, although doesn't explain why Artist Downunder uses the same copper colour for its "Gold top".

Does someone happen to know about the potentiometers and pickup selector switches used in the Anniversary tele model? Are the pots mini or full sized, and is the switch of the Oak Grigsby style construction or circuit based type? I think the TE-62 has small pots and the cheap circuit based style switch.

Just got word today from Thomann that my back-ordered JA25th (put my order in in July knowing there'd be a wait) is on the way. Excited by that. The spec on the 25th Anniversary models looks great - I wish they'd keep that available in 2024, but do it in the CC / Vintage colours. I'll doubtless buy the standard blue version in time, but.... I'm not so fussed either way about the locking tuners or a gig bag, but the stainless steel frets appeal. The alder body has an emotional pull, though I don't much expect I'd hear any difference with the basswood. Still, the standard being a bit cheaper will help cover the planned Goldo trem when comes the time.

That colour looks good on an LP, but not on a Tele.

That colour looks good on an LP, but not on a Tele. I really like it on all of them, actually - but, of course, it won't be for everyone. The Tele reminds me of one I saw being played by one of the guys in Blondie in July past. My JA arrived this week, and it looks phenomenal on that. The gig bags that come with these are very impressive. I'd assumed it'd just be one of their £20 models, but it's got an embroidered 25th anniversary logo on the inside. Really good quality - on a par, certainly, with much more expensive stuff I've seen/owned.
