TE-25TH LH Firemist : Well Specified

This has joined a collection of Telecasters of various sources and pedigree. Delivery and packaging were all exemplary. Overall, I'd recommend it but there were a couple of issues I found. Fret polishing was incomplete. A 3mm band under the top E string had been missed all along the fretboard leaving unacceptable transverse grinding marks across the frets. Secondly, when I removed the strings, all six ferrules fell out!

Once I had polished the frets properly, lowered the nut slots a little, lowered the bridge saddles, made minor adjustments to the intonation, tightened the truss rod, glued in the ferrules and raised the neck pickup, it was up there with the best of them. A lovely neck.

Ignoring a few wonky pickguards screws and normal setting up issues described above, the fret polishing is my only significant comment which I think it would justify returning it if you weren't able to sort it out yourself.

You should certainly get one and also the DC FAT Junior whilst you're at it..
