General Comments
I recently decided my collection needed more Fenders, and I did not have
a Tele. I bought a Tele copy by Hard Luck Kings, the Southern Belle [a
great bargain for a good sounding beater] and I was hooked on the
simplicity and feel. When I stumbled on this one, I had to try it, and
then, had to buy it.This is not a '69 or a '72 thinline, but compared the the MIM reissues of the '72, this is easily a more 'Tele' sounding instrument, and the charcoal finish is very interesting [although I am hoping it gets a tad more transparent with age]. Also, the necks on many of the other Chinese MP Teles that I have tried felt 'gummy', not slick; this one felt as good as my '75 Strat, right off the shelf.
