I played a Martin tele once and It was absolutely a perfect guitar. I can still remember how amazing it felt and sounded. I plan on owning one in the near future
I have played a mario that I didn't like the sound and didn't like the feel however I've played 20 custom shop fenders that I didn't like at all and I'm talking speced to what I usually would like. I played a mario s style that blew my mind one time it was gold sparkle that still rings in my ears to this day how special it resonated with me. I've played quite a few of his guitars I'd say at least 12 or 13 give or take and all but one were magical. You cannot best those odds. As I've said many times even masterbuilt fenders can be just drab sometimes. Mario's relic work is to me the best. The checked finishes are insanely cool. I cannot wait for t style from him.
