TE-40 TBK Deluxe Series : Solid guitar, Easily feels more expensive than it is.

6 years ago

This thing has some serious output with those Roswell humbuckers. It puts out a lot louder signal than most of my other guitars in comparison. Only downside to these pickups is they can get a little muddy. Body and fretwork is A+, especially at this price point. Neck is a fine shape, and frets are comfortable. Fun to play, and great for rhythm sections when it comes to recording. POWERful power chords. The weight is a little heftier than my preference, and the tuners are just meh. I'm in the habit of tuning at the beginning of a play session anyways, since I record a lot, so this doesn't really bother me, but modders will probably want to change those first. I wish it had at least one more volume knob to control the pickups seperately, as I don't hear too much of a change in tone through using the tone knob or pickup switch alone. Might be good to crank your gain and volume on your amp, and then use the volume knob on the TE-40 to change your tone. Shaped like a tele, but sounds like an HH something :)

TL;DR: Would recommend.
