I already had a HB strat-like guitar, but i have taken a dislike for floating trems. So i was invested in getting another guitar with a fixed bridge, and I also fell in love with the Tele shape, over the years. So this was a perfect fit for me.
It plays very well, it looks amazing, and the build quality is good for the price. Comparing to other brands, same value Teles with dual humbuckers just seem trash. I have it on display all the time, it really has a nice shade of blue. The sound is more than enough for my ears, i don't have many reference points to compare, but for my bedroom playing is superb. The confort is all there, the frets are nice for the value, the neck is very nice to play, the satin finish is just spot on. The hardware is very nice.
Now, onto the finner details:
- The bridge was not properly screwed in, when I removed the strings, I noticed the 3 screws that hold the bridge to the guitar were a bit loose, and the holes themselves seemed to be a bit large. Toothpicks to the rescue, and the issue is over.
- The string trees on the headstock were also a bit loose, but this time just a nudge with the screwdriver solved the issue.
- There are really small, really tiny dots on the finish, like dust specks. Maybe just a couple, but you can notice them if you search for them. It kinda annoys me, but realistically, it does not ruin the guitar overall.
- The volume pot was a bit harder to turn with the pinky, a bit of WD40 solved the issue too.
Overall, this is a very nice machine for it's price, and is currently my most prized possession.
