TE-70RW Deluxe Series : Incredible For The Price

I bought this as I've always liked the looks of the Japanese Tele Fender have recently started doing...and this is only £110. Not much to lose.

It came well protected for shipping (also ordered a TE-80, for my girlfriend's birthday, and other bits and bobs), lots of protective air - props for the safe packaging. The guitar itself is in a no-thrills cardboard box - who cares, it was packaged well. No gig bag - it was £110. Comes with a truss rod and 1/4 cable.

Guitar has all the annoying wrap over the pickguard and what not, ensuring it's new and not covered in fingerprints etc.

It's important to note that I'm writing this review in response to a £110 guitar.

The guitar played pretty well out the box. While it doesn't feel as good as my old Fender American Tele Deluxe (I was disappointed with it), it certainly doesn't lack anything, in terms of build quality. The main thing it lacks is smooth neck, again, this is only £110 and I don't think you can expect a crazy fast neck for that price.

Sounds great - just like a tele, which helps when you're buying one.

Finish is great for the price, looks awesome on the body and OK and no thrills back and side.

The only negative I've found is, a few light tuning adjustments need to be made once in a while, the G string can slip out after 3 songs or so: I may upgrade the machine heads to something a bit better, but they'll suffice on a guitar of £110.

I've yet to properly set this up, but so far it's an absolute steal. Great build quality, pretty good hardware and a great tele sound. For £110, I wish I had something of this quality as my first guitar. Will be using this primarily for recording and is sounding great through my Kemper.
