Members Ronsonic B Posted January 30, 2007 Members Share Posted January 30, 2007 I'm seeing these in stores and they're looking a lot better than the other Tele shaped objects at the price. Anyone lived with one? How de is? Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members squareking Posted January 30, 2007 Members Share Posted January 30, 2007 Didn't live with one, but fell in love at GC. Lite Ash Tele > Bassman = perfect. Loved the neck, loved the pickups, loved the tone and played very well. All in all.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GCDEF Posted January 30, 2007 Members Share Posted January 30, 2007 I have one. With a little work, it's an excellent Tele. Foreign Fenders are close to excellent guitars these days. The last three I've bought have all needed fretwork. The Tele was the best of the three, but still needed a fret leveling. Once that's done, it's excellent. The pickups sound great. I can nail Roy Buchanan tone with it, and people that see it often think it's an expensive American guitar. I'd recommend it, just be aware that you may have to put a bit of work into it to get it perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members english_bob Posted January 30, 2007 Members Share Posted January 30, 2007 I was handed one in a music shop while I was demo'ing my Cornell amp. I put up with it for about five minutes, then asked the guy to get me another guitar that actually stayed in tune I don't know whether it was a simple case of sticky nut, or whether it had recently been strung, or whether the tuners weren't up to scratch, but either way, I wasn't impressed.

Members sonic_tooth Posted January 30, 2007 Members Share Posted January 30, 2007 Don't live with one, but if you can find a good one they are a lot of guitar for the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members lenster Posted January 30, 2007 Members Share Posted January 30, 2007 i've had mine for 4 mths couldn't be happier. Does need a slight filing on the frets but it's excellent for the dollars, the pick ups scream and the tone ( for me ) is to die for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuning on mine is rock solid. Probably wasn't strung right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
