zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Sweet Looks And Sound!!"

Sound: This guitar sounds sweet and open, rich and warm, but still has that Tele bight. Feature: Has all the features you need on a Tele! Quality: Built strong and tough, like most Teles, but I thought the set-up on it left alot to be desired. If you or someone you know can set it up for you you won't have a problem. But the one I got was not very playable right out of the box. Value: The list price on this guitar is a little steep. So I bought a "blem" at a reasonable price. Manufacturer Support: I emailed Fender last week about something totally unrelated to this guitar and they emailed me back right away with all the info I needed. Their website is pretty informative, too. The Wow Factor: Teles are just COOL, and any guitar with a matching headstock is even cooler! Add to that a "retro" color and..................... Overall: I bought this 'cause it looked cool and none of my other Telecasters have the regular pickup configuration. I wish it played well (my '98 & '99 did) right out of the box, so that was disappointing. But it sounds and looks great. But any guitar can be supplemented. Not because it doesn't do the job, just because YOU CAN'T HAVE TOO MANY GUITARS!!!!

Style of Music: Classic Rock, Country, Blues
