TE-52 NA Vintage Series : Impressed!

Wow. It's all true what they say about this guitar - including its weight!

This is my first HB, and due to all the reviews I have read, I expected it to be good. It is. Finish is flawless. Really nice frets - nicely polished and no sharp ends. The neck overall feels really great. I am usually a Gibson/Epi guy so the flatter fretboard feels familiar. Nice handful.

I ordered replacement tuners along with the guitar as this was something others have said were not great. However, mine work fine so I will leave them. Keeps tune very well.

My only niggle is that the top front edge of the saddle is a little sharp and digs into my palm. I'll try filing it otherwise I will replace it. I did put in a set of Wilkinson compensated brass saddles, and intonation is perfect.

I will definitely be trying out one of the ST guitars. I wish they did a hardtail ST though.

Highly recommended
