Members canterbury Posted December 28, 2011 Members Share Posted December 28, 2011 I was a little hesitant in picking up one of these cheap Furrian Teles from Rondo. I have been pleasantly surprised though. Played with it for a couple weeks to see if the neck agreed with me, I like it and the fretwork is very good. The stock pickups were just ok, wanted to replace them but thought I'd take the opportunity to try something different. SD Little '59 in the bridge, replaced the pots with CTS and wired a USA 3 way for series/split/parallel. I taped off the neck pickup route to approximate the esquire look, haven't decided what color guard to get. I will probably replace the tuners and nut at some point, they're not great but they are working so far. Anyway, check it out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PunkKitty Posted December 28, 2011 Members Share Posted December 28, 2011 Awesome! I'm in the process of rewiring my SX Tele. It's getting a generic twin blade in the bridge with a firebird pickup in the neck. I really like the SX Teles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members vintage clubber Posted December 28, 2011 Members Share Posted December 28, 2011 I got the same one with a strat trem! Mint green looks good on it, but you'll need to do some cutting as they are not Fender spec'd in size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Steadfastly Posted December 28, 2011 Members Share Posted December 28, 2011 It looks like the switch plate is crooked but otherwise it looks fine. They now have a semi-hollow tele with an ash body for $99.95. You would have a hard time finding just a body for that price, so for a starter guitar, something different than what you have or the basis for something you want to modify, they are almost impossible to beat.

Members Muddslide Posted December 29, 2011 Members Share Posted December 29, 2011 I have one of the old headstock STL-50s and I really like it. The neck is killer. It's the only Tele I have at the moment and I need to put some work into it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
