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.

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.

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

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.
