TE-30 BE Standard Series : Amazing value for money!

Great guitar, I wanted Tele type guitar but could not justify the high price tag of the major brands, This TE-30 fits the bill perfectly.

The Neck is on the thick side, so I would not recommend for those with small hands, Personally I like it, the fret work and finish on the neck is top notch and is very comfy to play, Only gripe here is the frets have been leveled but not polished so are a bit scratchy when string bending, At this price point it's a minor issue and they'll smooth out once played in.

the body is well finished and looks great, It is very heavy so if weight is an issue maybe look for a Basswood bodied Tele,

Tonally what more can be said, I sounds like a Tele!, the pickups are Ok obviously not up to the standards of aftermarket brands but then you should not expect them to be for this price.

Easily able to cover the traditional Tele sounds without any fuss.

I do not agree with other reviewers that "it's as good as a fender or other name brand" because it clearly is not and nor should it be expected to be, In it's own right it's a great guitar, for the price it's a steal really, I have been playing guitars for more than 30 years now and have used many different makes and models over the years, the Te-30 is a decent instrument whether you are a beginner or more advanced I'm very pleased to add it to my collection.

I only wish they had been made so well when I was a beginner!
