TE-90QM Trans Red : Pretty nifty guitar

10 years ago

Loved the aesthetics of this guitar and bought it. I won't go into the appearance of the guitar, we can all tell most people would pay £130 for that alone. To start, it has very little (to no) resonance in the body for something that is listed as semi-acoustic. Probably due to the body being only 2/3 acoustic, with a solid piece of wood running behind the pickups to give it weight, if it weren't there it would be neck-heavy so I understand.

The stock pickups are surprising, sound pretty good despite lacking a little-high end. I was very impressed with the blend, however. It sounds absolutely amazing when clean, and the neck handles distortion very well for P90s. Bridge pickup has a lot of kick to it, too.

Guitar feels great, you have to give it a little to get a decent sound. Neck feels like a D-profile to me, but I've never been good at telling. Perfectly weighted, feels around 8-9lbs so a good weight. Came perfectly set up, no complaints on the quality of the guitar.

Overall, an absolute steal. Feels great, sounds like a £300-400 guitar. I doubt anyone would be disappointed.
