TE-62DB CAR : A Really Excellent Guitar

I bought this after seeing several favourable reviews from sources I trust. I was certainly not disappointed. This really is a wonderful Telecaster copy. It looks beautiful, it sounds just like a Tele should, it plays really well and construction and finish quality on mine are beyond reproach - all for £138.00....astounding. Believe it or not, I offloaded my two other Telecasters (Squiers) because this was genuinely so much better and it's the only one I need. If you have a Tele itch that needs scratching, and aren't a brand snob, you can't go far wrong with this little gem. All I did to mine was take it for a professional setup, a few very minor tweaks to taste...even kept the original D'Addario strings it came with. It really didn't need much work at all, probably the easiest £30 my luthier guy ever made! I reluctantly loaned it to someone who had broken the headstock on his genuine Tele and he played it for a small pub gig.....no, he didn't prefer it to his Fender.....but he confessed how surprised he was by its performance. Sounded way better in his hands than it does in mine but that's the only negative experience with this guitar that I can claim. Only one thing to be aware of....the colour, Candy Apple Red, is a little bit misleading---it's red sure and it's a nice finish, but under certain light conditions it can look rather "pinkish".........just something to be aware of although it doesn't bother me and you could always buy a blue one if it's really a concern. Highly recommended. Very happy customer on this one. Get yourself one if you can.
