TE-30 BE Standard Series : Tele 30 BE is my best guitar ever

I love this guitar! I have it by my bed every night from the first day I got it because the tone unplugged is great. It's a real work-horse guitar and it feels great. Plus the price was excellent, so I don't feel like I have to baby this guitar, but I still kind of do. Plugged in, the sound is high quality. I mean, I've tried other much more expensive guitars, and this one hold up almost to those equally in caliber. It's a great platform for modifications, but the pickups are great, keep those. Mods that I did, since it's so affordable, were drilled holes through the body for the strings (which it doesn't need--the sound is great); I installed an ashtray saddle (just to look more tele-like) [previous holes are covered perfectly by the way], (oh, the old saddle is thicker and better) and I sanded the paint off and refinished it in natural wood ash, but I want to buy another antique white; it just looked too pinkish for me, but the paint was excellent and the ash sounds good. Oh, I sanded the neck down a bit (I like super thin necks-but it's perfect previously), and did a little set up on it (truss rod) frets polished, basic. Wow, this guitar is worth buying. I love it more since I worked on modding it a bit. Good beginner or even advanced guitar. Sounds good, plugged in or not, feels good, sturdy as a rock, looks cool. I'm buying another if I can, just to have one in my collection. I bought a TE-90FLT vintage/white, I adore that but always play my TE-30 everyday! It's that good. --Marco USA
