"Poor Man's Highway One..."

Sound: Very high quality Telecaster tone, thanks mostly to the pickups, but the brass saddles and lite ash body help. Bridge pickup is nice and twangy, neck is fat and jazzy. This guitar sounds like how you expect a Tele to sound. Extremely noisy with distortion due to single coil pups, but it's good noise... Feature: Got mine on clearance. Came with nothing, but I was able to get wrenches and a case easily. Some people replace the pots and switches on these, mine are working fine, no need to fix anything. Ease of Use: It's a Telcaster... Tone pot is seems to have a nice fat Gibby-type cap on it, volume knob has a user-friendly taper. Switch is quite. Both pickups is humbucking... Quality: It's on a par with the Mexi's, but the brass saddles, pickups, and ash body give it a slight edge over most stock Mexi's I've played. I've seen a couple lemons, I've seen some sweet ones, so QC is not as tight as it could be, but if you get a sweet one, you will be very very happy... Value: I own two of these. The aftermarket value on these has been soft, so before you spring for a new one, see if you can find something used. People don't want to pay $900 for a Korean guitar... I got my second one used for the same price you'd expect to get a used Mexi... Manufacturer Support: Fender blows... But they still make good guitars... lol The Wow Factor: Good looking, but decal is a little strange. I own two. Overall: I own two of these. My first one has a two piece body and is sweet. The swecond has a three piece body and while it has the same neck, hardware, pickups, etc., it's not as nice as the 2-piece body, IMHO. Both are good guitars, but my 2-piece body one borders on being a great guitar... For the price of a used Mexi, these are a steal. If you have to get one new, the Highway One is probably a better investment.

"Great for the novice or pro player."

Sound: This unit compares both with my MIA tele and a HWY 1 I recently traded for. The Seymour Duncan pickups are really an asset to this guitar. Feature: Came with everything including hang tags. Ease of Use: Plays as well as any and better than some I've owned. Quality: A few little tweaks were needed at the onset. I had the place where I purchased it from do a minor fret dressing on a couple frets.No big deal. Value: I bought this guitar at a reasonable discounted price after negiotating with the dealer. Manufacturer Support: So far so good. The Wow Factor: This guitar has a slightly rounded body edge from that of my other Telecasters.This makes it stand out and have a better curb appeal. (for lack of a better expression) The unit I purchased was black.Very nice guitar! Overall: I'll probably keep this one for a while.

Style of Music: you name it I play it.
