TE-20MN CA Standard Series : Nice guitar

I got this one because I needed a guitar to record some covers at home. I never had a telecaster before and I'm very pleased I got it. The guitar is quite heavy, so it must be really solid. The paint work is great: that metallic red looks amazing! I like maple fretboards instruments, that's why I got it but I must say that this maple is a little bit too dark for me. The neck and fretboard finish is matte (not shiny as I like to be). I'm not a guitarist but the sound is good enough for me. I already recorded a song and it sounds very good (even with my lack of skill), I just got the guitar out of the box and started to play it. I still need to intonate it though. The action was low but I decrease it a little bit more.

Knobs and switch work perfectly (even though it's a chinese guitar), so I think the quality control was very good indeed. The fret work is great, much better than my fender bass guitar.

Pros: price, finish, sound

Cons: dark maple is not that appealing to me.

Get it now!
