I have owned a Squier Strat for about 38yrs, learned on it, gigged on it, recorded with it, and its still going strong, so when I decided time to get a telecaster, tried some Fender and Squier in store but nothing impressed, neck to thick, sound too weak, just felt wrong, then I saw these ! at this price whats to lose ? worst case , return it and carry on looking. Well it arrived, unboxed, examined and tested, here are the pro's and cons. PRO'S:- 1. Very cheap, in other guitars a con. 2. Light weight, thin body so no shoulder ache. 3. SATIN finish to body and neck so no sticky poly when warm. 4. Machine heads tune nicely. 5. Holds tuning once strings changed (as any guitarist does on a new guitar) and stretched. 6. mine arrived intonated and set up sweet. pickups are fine for purpose , ceramics, may change later but no rush. 7. Playability is good enough that I wouldnt think twice over gigging and ideal for learner. 8 . quality and build are above its price point. 9. tuners and saddles are unbranded but work. CONS :- 1. replacement scratch boards not available ( I wanted a black plate on my black guitar) . 2. saddles and tuners unbranded, may swap for fender ones down the line. Yes I know if branded tuners are important Ineed to buy a Fender tele , but with fenders starting at £700 + and the chancellor taxing more and more, I think spending £120 for this, plus £120 for fender tuners and Saddles resulting in a great guitar equal to a basic £700 fender tele for a third the price is a no brainer, but even un tweeked this is a beauty.

Chitarra davvero bella. Suono caldo al manico e metallico al ponte. Un una parola, Telecaster. Certo non sarà come l’originale, ma se suonata come si deve fa bene il suo lavoro. Read more

Here is a quick rundown. I received this on 11/29/2024. It was set to spec as far as the neck relief and string height. The tuners worked smoothly and held the tuning. The strings as fine. No sharp fret ends and the frets were highly polished. Confortable neck shape. The pickup switch felt and worked well and the tone and volumes were smooth. The output jack was properly tightened and works well. The pickups sounded just fine and the pieces aligned under the strings just as vintage ones do. It sounds very good unplugged. The trem arm screws in properly but the trem took a lot of pressure to work. This is really no issues and I am sure they did this to keep it in tune. If you are new to Strats, the vintage trem rarely ever stood in tune, don't use the trem as it is really for show in most Strats. In the real world it takes a lot of skill and know-how to get a Strat trem to work properly and costs more than the guitar to setup, which I am telling you will be impossible anyway. These are set with the rear decked on the body so it returns to tune meaning you can only go down. If you are learning you should learn to play for real and not be a poser playing with the trem. Leave the trem arm in the bag. There is nothing needed to be done or replaced to have a good guitar to learn on. It appears the price is so low as to be get you started and updating the phone app and taking lessons online and later buying a more expensive guitar, that is where they plan to profit. The guitar is like an when you buy a low cost inkjet printer for very little money and have to buy their ink forever. Is the guitar worth it ? Absolutely. Also buy a $30 or so case to keep it in might be a good idea. Realize if you are buying this for a gift for someone to learn on, most new players quit as they rather stare at their phone or play a video game so buying a low cost guitar is a good idea. The 2-year warranty is worth more than the guitar alone. Be careful removing the plastic on the pickguard and pickups, the pickguard plastic is very soft and scratches easily. After a few days I decided that the nut needed to be filed slightly for each string so I took care of that. I also lowered the action lower than Fender specs to 4mm with no buzzing. None of these things were out of the ordinary for a new Strat guitar. I am very happy with this guitar. After a few months after being too dry in my house the fretboard did shrink somewhat making for fret sprout (sharp frets past the edge of the fretboard. Fret sprout is not uncommmon even in much more expensive guitars. So I filed the edges and polished the frets when I was at it and put a set of Ernie Ball Super Slinky 9-43 (2223). Guitars are made of wood and wood is affected by moisture. That's life. I am still happy with the guitar. If you are just learning it is unlikely you will be running you hand up and down the neck so it may not matter at all if there is some fret sprout. It was not really that bad when it happened.

Acabados muy buenos, el color rojo es acabado mate, en las fotos parece brillante. Las cejillas metalicas de los trastes no cortan (uno un poquito). Viene un poco mal ajustada, enderece el mástil. La maquinaria es de calidad. La palanca del trémolo la siento un poco rigida, en general muy buenas guitarra para principiantes o para modificarla. Hecha en China. Read more
