TE-62CC IS : Very Good for Very small money

3 years ago

I'm old enough to remember it being impossible to find a cheap guitar that was playable - so this is very welcome as a decent cheap spare stage guitar. Intonation and action were sorted out easily on this. I put a piezo bridge on and had a good look through the wiring. Switch, pots etc are all fine. The bridge pickup has a plate and there is a separate earth wire under the ashtray - so all good there. Fingerboard is a little narrow and neck a little thick for my liking - however they work with the 12" radius. I like the neck pickup but the bridge is weak - lacks the growl I want from a tele. I'll probably put a pair of tex mex on it

Be aware that this is not made from solid wood. It's some kind of MDF. I carve a forearm contour in my teles so in this case I had to paint - no big deal but be aware!
