Well I just purchased a 2016 Traditional Pro IV, it’s on its way and should be here soon. I haven’t seen much online regarding this guitar and can’t find many reviews. I was wondering if anyone here has one or has any good/bad reviews on this model. I purchased this guitar based on condition and a very good price so I hope it’s a decent guitar. I also can’t seem to find out if it’s weight relieved or not. Anyway thanks for any feedback.

I have a 2017 Trad Pro IV in Vintage Sunburst. Guessing your 2016 is identical spec-wise.

Gloss back (unlike some previous Trad Pros which have satin backs). Zebra open-coil 57/Super 57 pickups. Traditional Weight Relief (aka 9-hole Swiss cheese). Short tenon. 60s slim taper neck. Aluminum tailpiece, Nashville bridge. Grover locking tuners with Keystones. Push-push pots with coil splits/taps (not sure which), parallel/series, and boost. No pickguard (and thus no holes). Gold top hats.

Well the guitar arrived today.... finally, pack mule from New Jersey. I cleaned it and changed the strings.... I gotta say I love it. I’m playing it through a THR10C and the pick ups sound good to me.
