TE-70RW Deluxe Series : Awesome

This is a GREAT guitar.

It is stunning, beautiful. In dark places, it could be mistaken by an all-black guitar, but once the lights shine on it? Wow. The finish is incredible and the matching headstock (the headstock with the same color as the body of the guitar) is a great detail that is found only on high priced guitars (and Harley Bentons).

This guitar sounds great. Very classic ?Nashville?. The bridge, the metal plate and the pickups, all work together to give the right bright twangy tone that you expect from this kind of guitar.

It is very versatile and can play a wide variety of styles from gorgeous cleans to classic rock. Keep in mind that those guitars have a bright bridge pickup and it can be very microphonic.

The neck in this guitar came perfect. Clean, with all frets leveled and shiny The feel is very good and there are no sharp edges. I hope the quality control remains this way for in the future.

Out of the box, the intonation was not perfect and the action was not as low as I like, but this was very easily corrected.

I performed some minor operations in all my guitars: Cavity shielding, new Nut (BlackTusq) and roller string trees. If you experience feedback in your bridge pickup, you can try to secure (silicone, glue?) the metal plate in the bottom of the pickup.

After those mods, this guitar became perfect. However, as I sayd before, this guitar is very good right out of the box.

Keep in mind that even guitar from top brands and with much higher price ranges needed those mods to make them shine.
