"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.

"The versatile tone king"

Feature:
As basic as a Telecaster should be.

Quality:
Flawless and beautifully simple. Mine has a beautiful 2 piece (well matched) body. The finish is perfect and the neck pocket is really tight.

Value:
Compared to other Fenders...given the case and candy, it is still a little high in price. Compare to Gibson prices, which are insane, it is a steal.

Desirability:
Butterscotch with a black guard...simple and beautiful. I have (and have had) other Fenders and Gibsons, and this is my #1. It has tone beyond belief. I will never sell this guitar...my Les Paul Standard on the other hand...

Sound:
Great highs - not shrill. This guitar can do it all. I've had a few Telecasters over the years, and this is the best.

Overall:
This is a keeper. I am so impressed with Fender's products right now.
