TE-52 NA Vintage Series : Very good guitar - great tone and sustain

I am over-the-moon with this guitar - it sounds and plays great.

Pros: Beautiful ash woodgrain. Long resonant sustain-plucking the A string on the 12th fret, unplugged can still be heard after 13 seconds.

Solid build. Good natural tone plugged in and unplugged. Satin finish on the neck feels great and the fret ends are nicely cut - no scratches. Frets were level with no deadspots. Stays in tune even after an hour of hard playing.

Cons: Frets were a bit rough when bending notes. After some playing they became smoother and after a fret polish it is now very smooth.

The guitar has a great foundation - neck, solid build, tone and sustain, and tuning stability. With a fret polish, this guitar now hangs with the high end guitars.
