TE-90QM Trans Red : Great look and sound.

I bought his guitar purely because I had read so many positive reviews, and seen so many positive reviews on youtube videos.

I've had dozens of guitars over the years but never one with P90 pick ups, so was interested to see what they were like.

Straight out of the box, the guitar looked great. On closer inspection there were a couple of tiny flaws in the paintwork and binding, but most of my guitars are pretty beaten up so I'm not too bothered about 100% perfect aesthetics.

The neck was as dry as a bone, and the frets were protruding and quite sharp. I oiled the neck and left it for a few hours. I gently filed down the sharp fret ends and now these problems are gone.

The guitar has a good weight and feel to it when standing up with a strap. I am a solo guitar vocalist playing hotels and bars, all styles of music, with backing tracks.

In my first 3 hour gig with this guitar, I played everything from jazz, blues, funk, rock and even a bit of metal! The guitar sounded amazing and the action, although a little high for my liking, was low enough for me to fly up and down the (now smooth) neck, and I can lower this next time I change strings and put on a heavier gauge set.

The tone control is very responsive...the volume not so much. The tuners worked fine...I always stretch my strings aggressively before each set so I've never had tuning issues with any of my guitars (apart from a Squier HSS Strat that hated hot weather!).

I'll lower the action when I change to heavier gauge strings if need be.

To sum up, this guitar is great value, you can't go wrong.

It covers all the styles of music I play, feels good, looks good and at 170 odd euros is a bargain.
