TE-70RW Deluxe Series : HEAVY

Sooooo happy, it took me two days but now I'm hooked, never had a Tele before so wasn't sure on what I was waiting for and I don't think this is not the typical alder or ash body sound either.

Sound felt heavier that I would expect, specially on the neck, and the neck has a bulky attitude but on the comfy side. I have an Affinity HSS strat. HB neck sounds better and bridge far less twangy so two for two.

Playing on the sitting position is comfortable and not as heavy as per some youtube reviews, sounds great unplugged as well.

What I am getting used to is the volume difference between neck and bridge, as the bridge sounds much more louder in comparison so need to dial sound down a bit as the bridge sound a lot higher.

Colour, sound, hardware as per website description, most reviews would say that is good for the price, I just say it is good overall with its own personality, don't buy it to try to sound like Tele X buy it if you like the clip sound, for the standard Tele sound though be aware you may need to go for a non basswood model.

I would also buy Harley Benton TE-30 as it sounds a bit brighter but I would keep both to complement each other, the colour is cool and intonation easy to achieve, for my taste no setup required.

Middle position is my favourite so far as it takes the twang and power from the bridge and colour from the neck.

I would also have gone for the black paisley but could only get one, specks seem the same.

So far only negative is the volume difference between pickups
