"It will be your unexpected new favorite"
Feature:
nothing much to say about the features. Standard Switching between bridge, bridge/neck, and neck. tone and volume. Thats is, but it doesnt need much else.
However, the pickups they chose on this mug are amazing, especially the lipstick pickup.
Quality:
Its American made, built solid. Will probably last forever.
Value:
Its probably the cheapest american made tele, or strat for that matter.
Desirability:
I give it a low score here because I know everyone likes the strat more. The telecaster is like the ugly twin in the relationship. But man, I disagree, I'd take a telecaster every time.
Sound:
First of all, it sounds awesome. However, a lot of people say they can't get the sound they want out of tele's. While it has more versatility than most people give it credit for, it's definitely a guitar you MUST play yourself and decide if you like it.
All I can say is if you've played tele's before, so have I and this one is the best sounding.
Ease of Use:
The feel of the neck is the best part, I instantly improve when I pick this thing up. Guaranteed you will feel faster and freer on this neck.
The bridge this one has is cool, easy to adjust. Some people prefer the individual saddles I don't care.
Support:
Never had to use it.

"Unbelievable value!!"
Feature:
Not much in accessories: soft "gig bag", owners maunual, and a couple of allen wrenches. Would have been nice to include a hard-shell case, but I guess it's one way they keep the price down!! Really, not much else you would want or need.
Quality:
This is an American made Fender - what else could you possibly want, quality wise?? Fit and finish are perfect, with an overall very solid feel. ...anything loose, shaky, maybe gonna break..??...NO!! This thing is like a rock, and will last me forever!
Value:
For the money, there is NO WAY you can beat this!! American made, with the quality, look, sound, and feel it has - it should sell for $200 to $300 dollars more! (...don't listen, Fender!!) A GREAT VALUE!!
Desirability:
I also own other nice guitars, but find this one VERY DIFFICULT to put down!! I now find it's the one I will pick up first, and usually, that's it - I keep playing it!! (My wife calls it "the other woman"!!) Mine is honey blond, I replaced the white pickguard with a black one, and it now has that true, "classic" tele look - Very nice!!
Sound:
With the new Alnico 3 "hot" pickups, you get a warmer, richer sound than with standard vintage tele pickups. Much more friendly to overdrive/distortion, and more able to get an "edgier" sound. The greasebuck tone control is also nice, in that it DOES roll off the highs, but keep the lows in check. I've also noticed the bridge pickup has a very nice smooth sound, not nearly as "trebly"/"overly bright"/"brash" sounding as most other guitars. I like the sound of this very much, and think you can play just about any type of music on it
Ease of Use:
Very nice to play!! One thing I immediately noticed was the "SMOOOOTH", finely finished, fret edges (a very nice touch, I think) - no sharp, protruding edges AT ALL - something that gives the neck a great feel. Otherwise, Hey - it's a tele!! - a fairly simple instrument!
It doesn't need a whole lot of "rocket science"!!
Support:
I have actually delt with them a couple of times, and they handled both issues immediately. Also, even their "contact us", through their e-mail adress (for questions, etc.), is very prompt. A great company to deal with!!
Overall:
As I said above, I will keep this forever!! I can't even imagine what would cause me to trade this for ANY other tele!
