TE-30 BE Standard Series : An astounding guitar

I'm not where to begin really with this guitar. Okay, bought this and a Squier Affinity Tele thinking right it's a Fender so it's gotta have that classic twang I'm looking for, I mainly play country. And it kinda looks like Vince Gills '52 tele(!)

Wrong, the Squier is bad on so many fronts. I'll review that elsewhere but wow this HB is amazing.

More twang than the Squier, albeit slightly lower volume. Fit, finish and the overall look of the guitar is amazing. No flaws I can see and everything works like it should. Tuners for me are especially good, no dead spots - my TE52 has more dead spots than this one

Like it's brother the TE52 it's heavy so you do need a wide guitar strap so be warned

For €109 it's a crime not to add it to your arsenal and if your like me a Tele addict then you need one.

I have HB teles now from all the different series they have and this and the TE52 and the TE62 are the ones to go for. The lower TE20s WILL need work and effort to make them anyway playable.

Still baffled how they can make guitars this cheap and still kick Fenders ass on the way there
