TE-62CC LPB : TE-62CC LPB - Excellent Value

3 years ago

Guitar arrived well packaged and within the estimated timeline. No damage and guitar was Reasonably setup on arrival; some minor fret level inconsistency but overall very smooth and playable. Sock parts are acceptable but I opted to upgrade the dime pots to full size pots/Orange Cap 0.047uF, three-way switch, Gotoh bridge/saddles and Gotoh locking tuners for personal preference; the pickups sound good and will stay but I will eventually change to a better quality nut in due course but the stock one seems well cut and is doing the job for now.

12" radius D neck has a nice feel. I have a Fender Ultra Telecaster which has a compound radius D neck and there are some similarities to feel at the higher registers but the HB (not compound radius) is a little beefier closer to the headstock; this is not a bad thing at all, it is just a slightly different feel.

Overall, a great value. The guitar is even better with a typical new guitar setup to individual preference and if you wish, some electronic/hardware upgrades; pickups seem fine. I purchased this to have a decent guitar to take with me to places I prefer to not take my Fender/Gibson guitars and this fits the bill perfectly. The biggest disadvantage is the shipping cost to Canada for a single guitar (better if you buy more); however, even with this cost, the guitar is still a good value and worth considering.
