TE-20 BK LH Standard Series : Excellent value, far exceeded expectations.

I've had various types of solid-body electric but never owned a tele, and at this price I couldn't resist giving one a try. After all, us lefties don't get to try other people's guitars much, right?

Well, I'm gobsmacked. The only reason I only gave 4 for the features review is that they're standard features. I can't find fault with this instrument. I didn't expect anything special for sixty quid, but the quality of the whole thing is great - the machines, bridge, fretboard and finish are all far better than I expected - even the stings are decent, and the sound is superb. The bridge pick-up reproduces that so-familiar chirpy sound perfectly, and the neck pick-up is a total surprise; really warm and smooth, quite jazzy.

I have no reservations about highly recommending this guitar, in fact it's convinced me to try the Harley Benton strat next.
