TE-62CC DR : Great Deal

The strongest point of this guitar is its look. Aesthetically speaking the guitar is awesome, nothing at glance says this instrument costs 150€: from the roasted neck to the perfect glossy finish of the body. The only thing I wold change would be a 3-ply pickguard (the mono layer is more suitable for a vintage instrument) but that's just an opinion.

Sound-wise it's pretty good, tuners and electronics are a good deal for this price range and they're easily swappable with a more high end stuff when you feel the need. Still with the stock gear you get the "Telecaster experience" you're looking for, with a high sound versatility and a minimal .

The only thing that holds me from giving the 5th star is the setup: when playing above the 8th fret I noticed a severe fret buzzing that needed to be taken care of by a professionist. This increased the price of the guitar by 50%.

Nonetheless I ended up with an instrument that is still very competitive against other guitars in the 200-250€ range and feels and sounds marvelous when I play it.
