TE-62DB BK : It's a Tele!!!

3 years ago

First things first:

I 'm a semi professional musician for decades,and I own an 1991 American

fender stratocaster (non export model),a Mexican made fender telecaster,and a Japanese made squire stratocaster (upgrated with fender coils sss configuration), I 'm also a sound engineer...

Now, I 've just got the guitar,and here's my opinion:

Finnish is excellent!!!

Absolutely perfect fretwork, no sharp frets or even a little disturbing!!!

The neck is very easy,just a little flat for my taste (I 'm used to 7,25 and 9,5 necks),but it is not a problem.

The guitar came very nicely intonated,and low on action (I had to correct only the G string a bit) otherwise totally playable out of the box (I can't believe that somebody took the trouble to set the guitar up before shipping)

Hardware:

beyond my expectations (I was expecting that I 'll have to change the tuners - in fact there 's no need for that).

Only the switch feels a little on the "El cheapo" side,but we will see...

The rosewell pups are more than o.k.,I like them very much (I just had to back up a little on the tone,when using the bridge position)

The sound: It's a Telecaster,and sounds like one!!!

Overall:

This is a great guitar!!!

Not "great for the price" great guitar!!!

For the price is a steal!!!

Now,can this guitar compare with my American fender No,but there's a price gap of €€€€ between them,but she can hold her own against my other guitars.

This is a guitar,that punches well above her price !!!
