Customer Reviews
4.5 out of 5 (7 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
"Awesome guitar with excellent sound and value."
Sound: Excellent sound. I thought the 3 position knob may not offer me a lot of choices, but to the contrary it is awesome. I like position 1 and 3. 1 offers a very sweet glassy sound and 3 offers a fat sound. Very smooth frets. It has a fatter neck. The bottom string (High E) doesn't have too much room at the bottom of the fret board. It takes a little bit of practice to not bend the bottom string further down as it will move out of the fret board. Once you get used to it, you are fine. Feature: Comes with a nice padded gig bag. Quality: Excellent build quality and beautiful finish. Hope the glossy finish lasts a long time. Value: Excellent value for the money. Manufacturer Support: Have not needed so far. The Wow Factor: Cool looks. Overall: Beautiful sound and excellent value for the money. Worth a lot more than what I paid.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Beyond words really, but I'll give it a go."
Overall: This guitar is without doubt the best I have ever owned. Playing professionally for several years now, I've gone through several different makes and models, but have never felt as at home as I do now with this Tele. Thank you Fender. You have proven yourself superior.
Style of Music: I prefer blues and rock, but on a few occasions, I'll venture the jazz route

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

2. We guarantee the lowest price

If we don't already have the lowest price, just send us a link to any legitimate competitor's offer, and we'll beat their price as long as we're not losing money on the deal.

To submit a request for a lower price, click "Seen it for less?" on any product page. We answer most lowest price requests within two hours. For extra peace of mind, you also have 30 days after your purchase to find a lower price; if you do, we'll refund the difference.

5. Our customer service is consistently rated the best

zZounds customer service is consistently rated at or near the top on every major comparison shopping website--probably because we only hire experienced musicians with outstanding customer service skills to work in our call center, and they don't work on commission. To us, this is our most meaningful measure of success. zZounds has served over a million customers since 1996, and they're the only critics whose reviews really matter to us.
