Pros:
|
Nitro finish is excellant, neck sm C shape smooth finish,vintage frets and 7.25 radius is great, light weight, and all apointmens are well crafted.
|
|
Cons:
|
Comes set up with '52 wiring, back=bridge pu, mid=neck& bridge pu, forward=neck with highs muted. Fender sends a 22uf cap for installation for better tone but that's not worth the installation effort. Case is a middle quality construction, not nearly

I really like this guitar, that said I'll make some changes. First are the saddles, intonation capabilities is fair, string spacing and alignment are off. Rewiring to modern Tele, my preference, to have neck, neck-bridge, bridge switch. A better cap for tone control.
The neck is absolutely awesome, custom shop quality.
The body and Nitro finish is as well.
Those are fairly inexpensive upgrades to what is in my opinion a great quality guitar for the money. I found this one at a better price so I feel I can make the upgrades.

Pros:
|
The guitars fit & finish are top notch- neck is awesome.
|
|
Cons:
|
Made changes in saddles and got better intonation
|
|
I went ahead and installed the D. Allen Cheetas and it made a world of difference. The bridge has the expected spank and the neck is FAR superior. Added a .033 cap and made tone control usable from 2 to 10.

Just did a fret level and it made a world of difference on string height set-up.
Got the level tool on ebay from AxeMasters and they come with sandpaper in 2 grits. Used 320 which has plenty of cut ability. Easy DIY job.
