Sound: I truly admire Fender products. This is my second american made telecaster and the workmanship from the body to the neck is outstanding along with all the accesories. As faar as the sound goes I am not entirly happy with it, therefore I am installing a set of FENDER CUSTOM SHOP TEXAS SPECIAL pickups. These pickups will give you a completely different sound then the standard pickups. Ease of Use: As far as playability this guitar is hard to beat. It has a great neck that feels really comfortable and easy to play. I got the maple fretboard because I like the feel much better. Quality: The quality of this guitar is outstanding I checked all of the settings as far as string heigth, pickup heigth, intonation etc. and every item seemed to be right on the money. Value: This guitar is well worth every penny that I paid for it.

SPOTLIGHT REVIEW
VERIFIED BUYER
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Sound: The sound of this guitar is SIMPLY AMAZING! Its like the Guitar Gods finally answered my prayers and blessed me with an awesome AXE! This guitar for having only 2 single coil pickups is very hot; its even more powerful than the American Standard Strat HSS that I returned to get this bad boy. Feature: This guitar was loaed with accessories. The TSA case, case candy, basically the whole shabang! This guitar screams quality, Fender really went all out on their new American Standard Series instruments. There was nothing wrong with this guitar, all I had to do was turn 'er up and I was off and ROCKIN'!!! Ease of Use: This guitar is very comfortable and very user friendly. Fender really pays attention to the small player-centric details that most other manufactuers generally look over. Namely the detailed fret and nut work, and the rolled fret edges. Quality: This guitar is extremely well made and screams Fender quality! It's bulit like a tank and will last a very long time. I'm very happy with my purchase. Value: This guitar was worth every penny I paid for it! Manufacturer Support: I've never dealt with them. The Wow Factor: This guitar is FRICKEN COOL and a ROCK N' ROLL MACHINE! The Blizzard Pearl with maple neck is a great color combination, and has kind of a vintage appeal about it. Overall: I'm very happy with this guitar and I know that it'll provide many years of realiable service.

Sound: ive been searching for a chickin pickin rockabilly sound and tried many guitars and this one "my natural finish tele" blows every other guitar i have away for that style of music.. Feature: as far as features go this guitar doesnt need any its beautiful in its simplicity a tone,volume,and 3 way switch.its built like a tank but the nitro finish makes me nervous afraid i'll scratch it haha. Ease of Use: this guitar straight from the case feels like a guitar ive played all my life its actually made me wanna be a better player.this guitar is so simple even simpler then a strat 2 knobs and 2 pickups easy as pie to dial in any tone you want. Quality: the one ive got is built like an anvil i dont think i'll have any problems out of this guitar i truly dont. Value: this guitar since the price went down 100$ is more then worth the price i think everyone who can afford it that plays country should invest in this guitar Manufacturer Support: i gave it a six because ive never had to deal with them The Wow Factor: i love this guitar so much im actually going to buy another "the 2 tone sunburst" to have on stage for alternate tunings Overall: i dont plan to search for another product if anything im going to buy another one just like it except a diffrent color

Sound: I`ve only put a deposit on it and p/x ed my Epiphone Les Paul intending to pay the balance this week. I cant wait to get my smutty fingers on this excellent axe.When I tried it in the shop (Soundpad) in Barnstaple England , I couldnt believe Fender were still making guitars like this.The tone is (and I use an old fashioned word deliberately) beautiful! Coupled with this is the near perfect balance of each string with the rest, they are wonderfully interactive. Playability is great and I noticed that a first string whole tone bend ( or maybe more) was possible with no volume loss on the bent note and comfortable even around the 3rd fret. This is a great plus.You really feel you are getting your moneys worth with this axe and I recommend it to anyone even after only trying it in the shop. P.S. I dont work for Fender !!!!!! Mick Tulk. Feature: Great case etc I would trust it in a hurricane. The bent saddles are maybe what contributes largely to the great tone and intonation , but this might have something to do with the new lacquering too.I didnt notice about the delta tone control in the shop, I just thought the tone control was sticking. I`m looking forward excitedly to sussing this out.I cant actually find anything wrong with the guitar! Ease of Use: This axe is like an extension of your soul! Yes it is very intuitive and thats a very personal, subjective matter but it seems to work great for me! Quality: Considering I used to bounce my first Tele (in its cardboard case ) along the pavement while walking I dont see any reason why this axe should not last a lifetime as I have stopped bouncing and am 60 years old! Value: YES YES Manufacturer Support: Never had to but reliable reports speak highly. The Wow Factor: Of course I rate it highly. There is nothing like a (good)Fender Telcaster and this one is good! By the way the upgraded saddles are perfect in legacy terms and dont change the vibe while improving lots of stuff like intonation. Overall: I hope to play this guitar for the rest of my days and see no reason why I shouldnt, after all, if you have a great Tele who needs anything else? Actually I just recently bought a s/h Epiphone Les Paul (Korean) and I really loved the power and tuning advantages of the humbuckers for a while but what let it down was the balance between the strings. It was great on the trebles but weak on the basses and very weak on the 4th string.This Tele has a strong 4th string which is rare in even some expensive guitars. As I said before I just part exchanged it for this Tele.This axe helps me in my playing style as I like country guitar and do a fair amount of non gentlemanly bends (as when I play a bit of blues) so I really need the hardtail element.If I lost the axe and needed to get a guitar I would pray for one as thats how I got this one (praying in the name of Jesus Christ my saviour)
