Feature:
THE SIX SADDLE BRIDGE CAME IN HANDY. I LOVE TO HAVE PERFECT INTONATION AND TUNING ON MY GUITARS. THE 3 SADDLE IS COOL BUT I FOUND THAT THE SIX SADDLE WORKS BETTER FOR TUNING IF YOU DO ALOT OF BENDS. IT IS EASY TO CHANGE OVER. TOOK ABOUT 15 MINUTES. PLAN ON SPENDING SOME TIME DIALING THE ACTION AND INTONATION IN. PRETTY TOUGH, BUT WELL WORTH IT!!! THE CASE AND VINTAGE STRAP ARE VERY COOL ALSO.
Quality:
FIT AND FINISH IS AMAZING! I LOVE THE NECK FINISH AND THE QUALITY PROCESSES THAT FENDER OBVIOUSLY USES WHEN PRODUCING THIS TYPE OF GUITAR. THEY PAY VERY CLOSE ATTENTION TO DETAIL. IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME LOOK AT THE SWITCH AND PICKUP ROUTES UNDER THE PICKGUARD. PRETTY TRUE TO VINTAGE SPECS/
Sound:
THE SOUND THESE PICKUPS PRODUCE IS PERFECT FOR COUNTRY AND OLD ROCK. LOVE IT.
Support:
I HAVE DELT WITH FENDER ON SEVERAL OCCASSIONS. THEY ARE FANTASTIC! I PERSONALLY WOULD NOT DEAL WITH ANY GUITAR MANUFACTURER BUT FENDER. NEVER NEEDED THE WARRANTY, I DO ALL MY OWN UPGRADES, REPAIRS ARE NOT NECCESARY IF YOU TAKE CARE OF THESE GUITARS!

Feature:
It depends on you....as for me I really don't like messing with more than one tone control...and the one tone control knob on my tele is more than enough for me..
Quality:
For a reissue I think Fender has got this model down to a T. especially with the original pick up selection...the bridge pickup is very bright yet leaves you enough to work with when it comes to tone.And if that's not enough....just by the way it looks....you can tell that this guitar means business.
Value:
I bought mine at a local shop in town for way much more...so the price on this site is a very good deal.
Desirability:
I love telecasters...but with the butterscotch blonde it just gives it that well crafted took their time sorta look.
Sound:
This thing is a banshee....no bells and whistles here....it is THE prototype guitar...and THE ultimate work horse...plug into a Twin and you're set.
Ease of Use:
The butterscotch finish especially on the fretboard had to get broken in....brand new I noticed that it wasn't as slideable...but after a good few months of playing and using fast fret this guitar is smooth.
Support:
If you're really looking for more tone options it comes with parts for you to convert to the modern pick up selection as for me I didn't choose to do so. It's a 52 model...so why not let it sound like a 52?
Overall:
Output jack was poor....I guess this is how they were back then...but it's an easy fix...you can even find specialty jacks just for your teleblaster.
