TE-70 Black Paisley : If you don't mind a heavy guitar, KAPOW, this neck and neck pick up kick ass.

I bought this guitar because I wanted a paisley guitar, it was cheap, so I felt fine taking a chance to modify it. It came and I was very pleasantly surprised. It plays WAY WAY above its pay-grade. It is also the heaviest guitar I own. I still own it. The bridge pick up does not sound good on mine, might just be a bad luck fluke. The neck is as good as any 2000 dollar guitar. Fantastic. smooth. intonation is great, Neck pick up after adjusting is all out great. In that position it sounds like a 70's telecaster being played by Eric Clapton, back in his Blind Faith days with the right amp or modulation. I let everyone try it, first thing every time "that's not basswood, too heavy" second, "Are you kidding me, WOW" It really is a value. This is a great first guitar, as good as many much more expense guitars. Dads: you cant go wrong getting this as a 1st guitar for your child. Honestly I could sand off the name, and no one would question me if I said I had it made for me, after I replace the weak bridge pick up that is. Really really recommend at this price point. IF you cant afford a tele, this will fill the void in neck position. I mean that. 40 years playing, and I own lots of good guitars and have lots of experience.
