TE-90FLT SB Deluxe Series : Very nice

I think this would be an excellent choice for a first guitar. Body is made out of 3 pieces, neck is from a single piece of wood and has nice satin finish which I prefer to painted necks. I've seen this model in videos before but didn't like the colors... until I saw that they have it in sunburst. I could never understand the reverse headstock on guitars but it is what it is. It's a cheap guitar so no roasted neck, no locking tuners or other extras but pickups are excellent. I never played any real filtertrons so I don't know how they are supposed to sound but I think they would sound just like these. Low noise humbuckers but with a very interesting timbre, hard to describe really but I think very suitable for rockabilly or country. There was a video on youtube where the user was demonstrating defective electronics - microphonic pickups on this model. The one that I received doesn't have this problem and was reasonably set up out of the box. Once I change the strings I may try to lower the action but it's reasonably good as it is.
