TE-40 TBK Deluxe Series : Light, but no lightweight

10 years ago

This is the HB 'Super Tele' in the style of another manufacturer. Once again it played well from the off and a few tweaks later managed to be just how I liked it with no fret buzz or choking.

The big shock with this one is that the Basswood body is extremely light. It actually weighs less than the HB Semi version. In action this isn't such a problem, as the twin Wilkinson Humbuckers guarantee a full sound.

An obvious upgrade for this would be to invest in a solid wood body, but that's not really needed as this guitar is more than adequate as it comes. As a gig spare or as something different, it is unlikely to disappoint.
