This guitar almost plays itself! Going from my other guitar-les paul custom its alot lighter, smaller. Yes there is more sustain on the les paul but over all, at least for me, the tele is alot easier to play. (Im only 5.5). I get alot more bend action on the strings, the lead pick up screams and the neck is very fast. Played right out of box. Just tuned. Action great! Buy this guitar!!!
