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!!!

"What you'd expect"

Fender has made their living off of two guitars, primarily. The Telecaster and The Stratocaster. This Telecaster is different than a normal one. The standard version has a lipstick in the neck, this uses a wide-range humbucker. This means your once muddled rhythm sections now have more power, but be warned, for chunky riffing, and singing leads, you need the bridge single coil. The neck pickup is strictly for rhythm work, it misses on lead. The guitar is heavy, almost too heavy. It is a solid block of wood after all. The crummy tuning pegs have more robust versions on this guitar, which is stellar, and the neck is typical Fender--smooth and fast. The quality control is unparalleled, the support is fantastic. You don't get to be one of the most iconic guitar companies by providing crummy service. All in all, it's too heavy for me. I like the vintage vibe and ability to rock out on some Exile-era Stones tracks.
Musical Background:
played guitar for 18 years, multi-instrumentalist, own Fenders primarily.
Musical Style:
Acoustic Folk, Alt Rock, Dirge, Experimental, Jazz, Jam, Reggae
