TE-20 BK LH Standard Series : I love this guitar

10 years ago

I didn't expect to like this guitar so much given it was so cheap but I do!

Here's what I like

- The neck - nicely finished and snooth. Perfect C shape and width.

- The pickups - surprisingly great sound. Disclaimer - I'm not a country picker or obsessed with getting a classic rock tone but these pups are great for the indie-rock sound I like. Enough twang on the bridge and sufficient purr on the neck when the tone is dialed off.

- The nut - well cut and leaves the action just right after a little bit of set-up work

- Sustain - awesome sustain even without a string-through design.

- Tuners - they seem cheap but obviously do the job as I find I need to re-tune this guitar far less often than other guitars I have.

What I didn't like

- Fret ends - not the worst I've seen but just a little bit sharp at the ends.

- Electrics - the tone pot is a bit scratchy

finally - it's a pity us leftys don't get a better choice of finish/colour but I understand the economics of it and I'm more than happy to get a nice playable T-style for a super cheap price. I'm tempted to buy another just to mod.
