Intonation is a cinch. Just remember to insert the intonation adjustment tool before you undo the pinch bolts. It's a thumb crew in the bridge so it's hard to miss.
Otherwise, I fully recommend it, but make sure you can like the neck profile. I'll post a picture of why I'm not such a fan all the time.
For clarity's sake, I'll note a couple of things.
The stock wiring is a little noisy. As far as wiring goes. I wired my tele up, unshielded, with a single coil, and it is quieter if you point it in the right directions. This makes me think the pickups are a) biased. and b) very hot.
The neck pickup has a tendency to 'sink' down. If you pick somewhere where it doesn't touch, you'll be apples. Otherwise, loctite'd do the trick.
Also, it lacks an allen key holder. That'd be a bonus, but a minor gripe.
The trem is fantastic. Easy to set up, easy to use, holds tune, and the sustain is actually great.
