TE-52 NA Vintage Series : Solid and chunky

10 years ago

Having played several of its cousins by the celebrated USA manufacturer, I have to say that this one is a treat.

There is so much weight in the body and the neck is perfect.

The Wilkinson pickups do a passable job and the only real weak point is perhaps the pickup selector switch which does feel a little flimsy.

Still, it's not as if you can't get replacements for every part of this model easily and cheaply, so it's a small price to pay.

Compared to the USA or even the Mexican models by the Famous guitar manufacturer, it certainly is a small price to pay.

I was looking for something to make me play like I would play a Tele and this does just that.

Top marks.
