"The perfect mail order bride"

Feature:
No problems. They could have put a lock for the strap. It wouldn't have cost much but for this quality equipment it should be standard.

Quality:
Quality is great. Great finish. Everything works great. The natural wood tone? Most excellent. Love the neck. Almost plays itself.

Value:
This guitar is worth every penny. Just one great instrument.

Desirability:
Looks great. I must admit I showed at off around work. Even people who don't play were impressed. Those that do play, well, eat your heart out. 1952 is something I have something I have wanted since I was a kid and to be able to get a exact remake is incredible.

Sound:
Sweet! Can't beat that Fender sound. I've been playing blues lately and the tone is perfect.

Ease of Use:
Very playable. Great neck...wonderful body...zzounds like I am describing a woman.

Support:
I did call Fender and found them to be knowlegable but not overly passionate about their product. Which kind of surprised me.

Overall:
I call this my mail order bride. Can't wait to get home at night and play with her. Now that I have this guitar I can't imagine ever being unfaithful. What else could I need? Maybe a little food and water once in a while. I wouldn't turn down a date with Scarlet Johanson. Other than that just let me play this guitar. Buy this guitar! It doesn't get any better.

"First rate QUALITY for a life-time."

Feature:
The only thing I wish that came standard on this guitar is the lock on guitar strap hardware. Fender could include it in the hardware pack and leave the strap out. But oh well their only about $16.00 Well worth the money because I don't plan on dropping this beautiful instrument. I clean the guitar after each use with the cleaner and dust cloth included.

Quality:
This is one tough guitar. Very reliable. It stays in tune better than any guitar I've ever owned. After 3 hours of playing on stage I can put it back in the case and take it out the next day and never have to retune it. The case is very well made for the road. Inside the case you have this plush orangeie fur and a compartment to keep your what-nots.

Value:
For the quality of this instrument. Well worth the price.

Desirability:
Get one. You'll fall in love with it. If my wife said, It's either me or that guitar? Well, I would have to tell her, It's been nice known ya.

Sound:
I have both Fender Strat. and have had the Tele. vintage for about 2 weeks. I can't set this new Tele. down. If your looking for a more mellow sound, this is the one for you. Once you ordeer this guitar, open the case and take a sniff. Ahhhh the smell of this guitar is wonderful. Great job Fender.

Ease of Use:
Effortless playability. Tone is GREAT. If your playing songs by Buck Owens, Johnny Cash you'll get the same great sound.

Support:
The only up grade I havee done was to install the strap locks. But keep the orignals, because after twenty years this guitar will be worth alot more than what you paid for it.

Overall:
Satisfied: For life. Supplement or replace: Never Wear it out: Maybe (but probally not in my lifetime). Compare: There is no comparison. Musical goals: Oh yes their met. Like most: It's a Fender Least like: I should have bought it sooner.
