Members LowMach Posted May 30, 2007 Members Share Posted May 30, 2007 i have a 2006 mim tele and it is way more guitar then I expected! the frets are perfect and the pick ups sound great. 2 - cts pots and a quality 3 way. i own a 2001 mia strat and a 1996 mij jagmaster. imho my mim tele is on par with quality with the other 2 and has better electronics then the mij. Oh and I got lucky and picked it up for $249(us) new at one of gc's sales. great bahg for the buck i say. though i have no other experience with mim fenders other then this tele.

Members voneville Posted May 30, 2007 Members Share Posted May 30, 2007 If you're good at cherry pickin you can find a really nice one. They vary from guitar to guitar, but overall they're a good guitar for the money. I love the pickups in mine. I have a set of Texas Specials that I pulled out of another guitar that I planned on upgrading, but haven't yet, I'm still happy with the stock pups.

Members seven58 Posted May 30, 2007 Members Share Posted May 30, 2007 I have a MIM Strat. I upgraded the pickups and put on a deluxe bridge. IMHO it is as good as a MIA now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bluefoot Posted May 30, 2007 Members Share Posted May 30, 2007 I have a 2006 mim and a 2006 (hmm or 5?) mia tele. the build is slighlty better in the mia but that is just imop appearences mostly (string tree, look of the saddles). the ceramic pickups on the mim I think actually would be just as good if not better for rock, though perhaps the mia is slightly more twangy. love um both but would say the better "value" is in the mia.

Members coldfingaz Posted May 30, 2007 Members Share Posted May 30, 2007 They're vastly underrated. The differences (aside from electronics and snazzy finishes/appointments) between the MIM's and MIA's are becoming less and less obvious. I'm partial to CIJ's, but if you play enough MIM's you're more than likely to find something that suits your needs. Fender made some pretty cool changes to the MIM Standard models just within the past year, but the MIM "Classic" series offers a bunch of great options.

Members claffman Posted May 30, 2007 Members Share Posted May 30, 2007 I have two Nashville Tele---One rosewood neck and one maple. The rosewood is my fav guitar of all time. MIM all the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alienesque Posted May 30, 2007 Members Share Posted May 30, 2007 ive just ordered a 72 MIM tele deluxe in sunburst.....ill let you know when it arrives what its like.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GarysBlues Posted May 30, 2007 Members Share Posted May 30, 2007 I played a MIM Nashville at GC a couple weeks ago. Its probly sold now. But the guitars weight caught my attention IMMEDIATLY. The Tele was BLONDE which is a 06 finish for Nashvilles that looks GREAT with the Shell PG. Thats why I picked it up....Looks. Then when I felt its weight [had to be 6-1/2LBs]? I had to hear the Tele. I ALWAYS liked Nashvilles ANYWAY. But this one? EASILY rivaled ANY American Series Tele I have owned or played. MIM also has.....BAJA.....MUDDY WATERS! Any of these Tele's I mentioned could easily be a lifetime partner! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
