TE-30 BE Standard Series : Unbelievable

Finish: Excellent finish, no blemishes, the pickguard is just amazing and the fretboard is fast and smooth! It's a piece for the living room I'll tell you that!

Electronics: Switch and knobs work and feel fine. Pickups ara a bit microphonic but still excellent sound, representative of a tele (I doubt one could tell the difference between this one and the clean tones of an original fender telecaster in most cases). Nice and crisp especially on the neck side. A bet that with a pickup upgrade it would be as rich sounding as a guitar 20X more expensive...

Playability: Came decently setup, action about 2mm at 12th fret. I am still getting used to the beefy neck shape but that's just because I usually play les paul style guitars. Strings are junk but for 92 bucks I shouldn't expect more. Frets need polishing though! My friend Jack (the chinese QC person) forgot to remove the file scratches from the levelling... Fret ends nicely smoothed .

Conclusion: Highly recommended for all! it plays as beautifully as it looks and... it looks beautiful.
