Here is that G&L I mentioned earlier.
I'll see your sound hole...
And raise you one bridge...
And raise you one bridge...
The neck is absolutely perfect for me. Modern C, 9.5" radius, rolled edges. I had a 'going to the grave with me' Squier Strat that was so perfectly worn it, sounded great, set up wonderfully (a one in a million guitar) that I lost in the fire. This Telecaster neck feels just like it. It's like shaking hands with an old friend.
Not mine, but these are great bang for the buck guitars, Yamaha Pacifica

No TLDR; suffer through or skip it 
I've switched ALL my basses to TI Jazz Flats or Jazz Rounds over the last few years, but still D'Addario on all my guitars (Jargar on my URB), but...
1.) I have been considering trying the TI guitar strings that match the Jazz Round construction.
2.) I follow TI on FB.
TI posted a contest for a Vlatko Stefanovski sig set of their Infeld Superalloy 9s (not the ones I was looking to try, but also an interesting set). To enter, one just needed to post their favorite Vlatko song. I knew the name because of the "King Of Strings"
I went down the youtube rabbit hole and came back with "Not familiar enough to pick a favorite, but I dig all I've heard"... and I won
So after a week+ of travel from Austria, my package showed up yesterday
There is a large assortment of Dunlap picks in thin, medium, heavy, and extra heavy flavors, a lanyard that the wife snagged and tucked away before I could even look at it and my signed set of strings.
I was originally planning to put them on my rainbow crackle LTD, but while waiting figured the 68 Starfire needed to be the test guitar.
Since it is a new brand and gauge (I generally us 9s with heavier bottom, these are regular 9s), I took the time to pull the old set, oil the board, polish the frets, and clean up the bridge before stringing it up... knowing it was going to be a fun wrestle with getting the intonation set.
Took way longer to get them strung up and set up properly, so I never got to crank my amp... but it is Friday and I will be very loud soon
Acoustically (it is a semi hollow!) they are very nice sounding and feeling strings, looking forward to hearing them through my cranked Deluxe Reverb with a little extra push from my KoT

Wow...never knew that Vlatko had a signature set with TI. He's definitely come a long way since I first saw him with "Leb i Sol" promoting their debut album 45 years ago...
The song you picked is a (North) Macedonian folk tune, arranged by him. A very good pick and one of his personal favourites AFAIK.
