Verified Purchaser zZounds has verified that this reviewer purchased this specific product from us.

I was concerned about it being a MIM Fender , but I shouldn't have worried. The hardware and pick-ups (usually the things that suck on affordable foreign made guits) are actually the best (and unique) bright spots, not that anything on the piece is bad. I am sort of stunned as a Gibson guy that this guit came out of the box 100% ready to roll. Best new guitar of this price range I've bought in a LONG while.

Sound
Surprising versatile. I bought it for very specific reasons (clean recording, doubling etc.) but this baby also sounds great in a bluesy crunch and even with some pretty extreme distortion (everything 11 using 50w JVM). Overall quality tones make this a real bargain.

Features
I haven't tried everything it can do in every circumstance yet (2 amp stereo Y cable set-up, Logic, or ProTools etc.) but as good as it is out of the box just on one of my main amps it's pretty darn good especially for the price.

Ease of Use
Feels and plays great, I've only used the basic sounds (mono straight to amp) mine was wonderfully set-up as is, so about as easy as it gets.

Quality
Stunningly good I didn't expect that from a MIM Fender, I only rolled the dice because of Zzounds return policies. I've Iooked at a lot of MIM Teles (as I believed it would be a limited use guit.) before I got this one and it's really hard to tell any difference between MIM and MIA with regards… read more to this specific guitar.

Value
Easy, a no brainer in hindsight. Great value for money.

Manufacturer Support
I had pre-sale questions regarding country of manufacture, and functionality of the Fishman features, and Fender did a great job of answering everything in one call.

The Wow Factor
Uniqueness of the electronics, but the overall quality is a WOW on it's own.

Musical Background:
20+ years mainly guitar, but also vocals, keys, bass, drums

Musical Style:
Rock/ Metal performer, writer/ recorder in many others, tinkerer in pretty much everything else.
