5 out of 5 (165 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
"Buy this guitar."
Sound: This guitar is best played through a clean channel on a Fender Twin Reverb amp. It's a wonderful guitar that has a fat tone because of the humbuckers and a slight jazz feel to the timbre because of the semi-hollow body. If you're looking for a Fender but want versatility in sound, this is what you're looking for. Feature: The features on this guitar are pretty standard. Quality: Fender has always made a good guitar and this one will last you a long time. Value: This is one of the best guitars in terms of versatility and getting the best bang for your buck. It is definitely one of the best sounding guitars you'll play, and the price is generally lower than most Fenders. Manufacturer Support: Fender is a huge company and so quality customer service can be hard to come by. The Wow Factor: I LOVE THIS GUITAR. Overall: Look no further. This has everything you want. Country, blues, rock, jazz... you can even get a dang sweet metal crunch out of it. What more could you want???
Style of Music: Singer/Songwriter

Thank you. Your vote has been counted. Could you briefly tell us why the review was or was not helpful?

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful. "The nicest surprise I've had in a long, long time."
Sound: This guitar has a great clean sound and you can get a pretty nice snarl out of it as well. I wasn't to sure about ordering one, because no one seems to know what kind of humbucker pick-ups it has. I was extremely pleased with it when it arrived. It is one of my favorite guitars and I own Strat's, Les Paul's, SG's, Hammers, Carvins etc. Feature: It's a strait forward no frills kind of guitar and I like that about it. Ease of Use: This guitar is very user friendly. It takes no time at all to get a fantastic clean sound out of it. I use Marshall and Line 6 amps. It's just as easy to get an over driven sound out of it as well. Although, I use my Les Paul Studio and SG for the rough stuff. Quality: I was and have been amazed at the quality of this guitar right out of the box. I set-up all of my guitars my self and always have. This is the first guitar I have ever bought that I haven't had to do a single thing to. The intonation was dead on, the action was perfect. Everything from nut to wiring was set to go. I was extremely pleased. Value: I don't like to type this but, I think this guitar is worth a lot more than I paid for it. Manufacturer Support: I can't rate this, as I have never had to use the support system set in place by Fender. The Wow Factor: This is a beautiful looking guitar. I got the natural finish. It is the most comfortable guitar I own. Truly, from it's weight to the feel of the neck, I'd rather be playing this guitar than any of my other guitars. I play the others only when I am in need of their individual sound. Overall: I plan on owning this guitar until I hand it down to one of my grandchildren. (Thank God that should be a long, long time from now). I looked at a lot of other Fender Telecasters and quit-frankly the price and the humbuckers were the deciding factors. I figured if I didn't like the pickups I'd replace them with Gibson 57 humbuckers. Now, after playing this guitar I don't fell the need to replace them. I would definitely replace this guitar with the exact same type of guitar in a heart beat.
Style of Music: Contemporary Christian, Blues, Rock, Jazz etc.
