TE-52 NA Vintage Series : Wow

Did quite a bit of research into this guitar before buying. I noticed the people saying the machine heads were hit and miss and the frets could be a little rough, and the finish etc. so I was prepared for teething issues. My son has a Fender squier Tele so I had a benchmark for a budget telecaster

However…

I was blown away by the quality. Everything was as it should be. Playable straight out of the box (after a tune up). The action is spot on and the sound is very good.

Pushed it through my Fender amp clean and with drive , and it sounded great.

For the money, I was astounded at the quality of the build. Delighted with the guitar, it feels good in hand and sounds great, and dare I say it it is better than my son’s Fender.
