TE-52 NA Vintage Series : This is the Tele Clone to all Teles !

I did not have a Telecaster type, despite after being into guitars for better than 20 years... I had bought American Fender , Gibson & PRS ... But no "Tele". Until I (after watching several YT videos that showed the HB models were not made of balsa wood, or green cheese) I bought a TE 52 NA. Its beautiful. Looks great. Feels great, but most importantly... Sounds great with stock pickups ! Check out Shane's "In the Blues" comparison between a $2K US Fender Original Series Tele and a TE- 52. For the most part, You cannot tell the difference in tone between the two !

Yes, thay can be heavy (mine weigh about 10 Lbs) ... But I sit. and I slapped a 3" cotton web strap on both to take care of the "comfort" issue Great guitars, considering they cost less than $200 US, and will challenge any Tele type out there. I bought a second, to simply put Fender real pickups (actually Leo Fender) G&L MFD's into. I 'll report back once done.
