TE-52 NA LH Vintage Series : Amazing overall, apart from a few quality control misses

5 years ago

The guitar has a great tone with the included pickups. Selector switch feels solid and the volume and tone knobs feel nice. Nut was cut nicely and fret ends were not at all sharp and were nicely sanded.

Tone Knob: The tone knob is a linear knob so it really just feels like one or the other in terms of changing the tone.

Tuners: Tuners are of course nothing to celebrate about but they do work well as can be expected from this price range. However, my tuners came misaligned and not very straight so I had to unscrew they slightly and line them up.

Quality control issues: Probably the biggest let downs from this guitar are the QC issues. My Guitar came with a 12th side fret marker also on the 9th fret. This can make it confusing sometimes where I think I've gone to the 12th but I'm actually sitting at the 9th. some of the pickguard screws were drilled in at an angle so some of it protrudes out and isn't flush against the pickguard.

Overall non of the QC issues affect the sound, so overall a great guitar, just wished the QC could've been slightly better.
