TE-40 TBK Deluxe Series : Beautiful guitar with minor issues

I use the guitar to practice and play at home as well as for smaller jam sessions. I am not a professional by any stretch.

pro:

The guitar has amazing fretwork for the prize and plays like a breeze. A lot of fun indeed!

I like the sound of the humbuckers a lot and you can push your tube quite a bit.

con:

the tuners are to be replaced. I already have a broken plasitc washer after a month.

The intonation is awful. I cannot even seem to get it close to good by adjusting the bridge. Well I guess there are some trade offs for this price.

Also worth mentioning:

The guitar has a weird center of weight. It feels like the chunk of the weight is too much towards the neck, but that might just be me..

In total: I am stunned by the guitar and I play it a lot more than my more expensive ones these days, definitely worth it's money maybe even more.

Don't get demoralized by my cons. It is a great guitar and the issues I have with it can be fixed while still paying very little money for a great instrument.

Cheers, Nik
