See, that doesn't give me a tele feel at all.. I know it was sold as a tele, but it just doesnt feel like one..

There are many features that define a tele, and appear on most teles (some may have some, while others have others, but almost all teles have a couple of these thrown together), and this has ALMOST NONE of them.. the knobs are wrong, there's no slanted bridge pickup, the bridge itself is wrong, the body shape is wrong.. about the only thing 'tele' on that guitar is the headstock.

This looks like what would happen if a strat and a SG made a lovechild!

No offence meant by this in any way, I just don't feel it.
