TE-20MN BM Standard Series : Vintage style T guitar for reasonable price

6 years ago

Ordered this one to have something more that superstrats in my collection.

First the neck feeling - it's C-shape close to nut, but then gradually becomes somewhat of a D-shape, hence the modern-C in the specs.

The bridge is the most basic vintage style you can get, with shared saddles for 3 couples of strings. Volume/tone and the 3 pos switch work as intended.

After setting up the action & neck relief the guitar sings.

Frets are of the vintage variety (thin and low).

The color is beautiful. Tuners work pretty well. Nut was cut bit too deep for bundled 9-42 set of strings (the 6th string is completely submerged into the nut), but at the same time it's too high to get really low action.

Frets are not leveled properly, hence the action has to stay high. Lowering quality to poor, as it will greatly discourage beginner players.
