TE-80 NT Deluxe Series : A Worthy Tribute

Prince was on of the greatest musicians of our time - so even if you bought this just to hang on the wall, at this price it'd be worth it. But even better if you play it - it's a great guitar. Ok so the hardware could be better - cheap bridge,tuners & electronics - but they all do the job. The pickups sound great though - they're strat pickups - neck sounds particularly good. Bridge is not bad as strat bridge pickups go but a bit weak sounding in comparison to the neck. You can get some great funky sounds out of it and it sings too. Covers a lot of ground. The body is pretty heavy but resonates well and it looks amazing. The pickguard doesn't look great, but there are a few custom made replacements available if you're going for the madcat look. The neck is routed for a humbucker and bridge for single coil. The neck is chunky with a satin finish, mine could have done with a fret dress but was fine with a medium action. The main thing though is it plays and sounds great- really fun to play.

It's also a great modding platform and if you're willing to spend a bit on it you'll have an amazing guitar. Play some funk on it for the man. At this price you can even throw it over your head after you've melted everyone's face!
