TE-90QM Trans Red : Very playable T style hollow body guitar.

Bought as a manageable hollow body for blues.

Finish and fittings: Overall, very good, hardware looks good. Fretboard not dry. Fret ends could be rounded off a little better, they're not sharp but you can feel them.

Frets need a polish, they look dull and scratch on bends and general playing.

Paint work is sloppy, there are a few bleeds into the binding and the headstock has some small streaks of the body colour under the lacquer.

There are a few minor scratches and nicks which shouldn't be there on a new guitar, but they are minor.

Binding around the F-holes is a little rough and unfinished at points.

Tone and volume knobs turn but feel a little scratchy.

Tuners are only ok. There is slippage and then jumps in the tuning process making it easy to overshoot. The pegs are small and close together and a little tricky even for my average-sized hands.

Add €10 the price and put on better tuners in the factory would be my suggestion.

In terms of tuning stability, it goes out of tune after every set of string bends. The cheap string trees are probably a culprit, and the nut may need some lubrication.

Pickup selector switch is very stiff.

The sound is good, somewhere between a solid and hollow body in terms of resonance.

Body is very lightweight. Maybe 3+ kg at most?

I bought it because I'm a lower-intermediate player and whilst I'd love a 'proper' hollow bodied guitar for blues, I find the size and weight of this more manageable.

Overall, recommended as a nice T variant in your sound collection.
