"Its a Fender product......"

Feature:
I just played it straight through a tube Deluxe reverb

Quality:
Its a Fender Telecaster what more can I say

Value:
never bought this model, I have a Tex-Mex Strat a 71 & 52 Teley copy a Mustang guitar, Jazz and P bass.

Desirability:
no comment

Sound:
I got to play his original paisley telecaster. He had left it with a pal and I needed a guitar for a gig not knowing who's it was and said yuk, you want me to play this funny looking guitar. After the gig was over and I brought the guitar back did I find out it belonged to James his self. I never got to meet him and thank him personally but did tell Al Bruno TY TY TY //////////////

Ease of Use:
Sounded good to me to just play Rhythm Guitar and some bass notes

Support:
not applicable, but my guitar man got me a great 57 P bass neck with no problems to my specks from a fret less bass neck

Overall:
once you own a telecaster you don't get rid of it
