"New favorite tele"

Just awesome.
Sound
That mid pickup really broadens the horizons of this guitar,
Features
This may be the first guitar i have that i most likely wont touch the pick ups. The stock pups sound fantastic.
Ease of Use
What stuck out most for me was the neck. Incredibly playable. I first played one of these at Guitar Denter and it blew my mind how comfortable the neck was. hardly needed a setup.
Quality
MIM teles have always impressed me. They do a great job south of the border.
Value
The price tag on this thing is awesome for what it is.
Manufacturer Support
Never really dealt with fender on that level how ever I will take this time to say if you see something at Guitar Center, its good to try it out but wait till you get home and order it from zzounds. The payment plan is an awesome idea and every time i have ordered from them it has literally arrived the next day with ground shipping (southern california).
The Wow Factor
The neck was really the selling point for me as well as the honey blonde finish. Eventually I got kind of bored with telecasters and moved on to offsets like jazzmasters etc. but this one really sets itself apart in all categories, looks, sounds, action, everything.

I hope to keep this one for a long time and if it were stolen, then I'd would most definitely replace it.
Sound
Very versatile! Everything from metal, to jazz to funk, sound great on this guitar.
Features
I like everything about this guitar. Not too heavy and very slim. Once I swapped out the strings, I liked even more!
Quality
The guitar was in excellent condition when I bought it from zzounds.com. No obvious flaws and was packaged well.
Value
I've owned 5 other guitars, ranging from Ibanez's to Fender's and the telecaster by far, is the one of the my favorites!

Never had to deal w/Fender.

How can you not fall in love with the sunburst color? ; )

"Zzounds has been a great experience"

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I ordered a Mexican Tele and was concerned after reading some reviews. This company is legitimate and cares about customer satisfaction more than most. Don't concern yourself with negative reviews because no one is perfect and no one can make everyone happy. Zzounds is a customer focussed company based upon my experience with them. This Tele packs a great punch and plays as well as any of my American guitars. The main difference is can see is with the neck markers. They are black instead of nice inlays. This does not make a bit of difference other than the looks. I am really impressed with this. In my opinion, this was a great buy.

"Holy Smoke!! What a HOT Tele!!!!"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I will buy another one if I ever wear this one out.
Sound
This Tele has superb tone. You get a nice over=-driven bite on switch positions 2 through 5, with switch position number 1 purespanky Tele classic tone.
Features
For what I play (blues, country and rock), it has everything it needs.
Ease of Use
This guitar is flexible enough to offer up any variety of tones one needs. I urge you to play this through a Fender amp. It's tonally pure.
Quality
Top quality. As much bad mouthing as MIMs have received in the past, tghis Tele is as competitive with anything made b Fender in tghe USA. It's solid. The neck is excellent. I paly with very low action and there's never string buzz when I'm banging away on it.
Value
Considering what you're getting in this guitar, I'd have paid more. It's a real bargain. I've beenm playinmg feneder productas for over 3o0 years and have owned several USA made Teles and this, by far. is the best one I've ever owned.
Manufacturer Support
Fender has always been accesible to me. I've never had a time with Fender (or Gibson, for that matter) when they failed to respond to questions or concerns raisd by any of their products.
The Wow Factor
It looks and feels real good when you're "wearing" it.

i was iffy at first, kind of taking a gamble if i'd like it or not..but this thing feels and plays excellent!.although when i plugged it in, it seemed a bit weak..but that just encourages me to open up and play loud! so thats a good thing ;) ..i wanted a tele for the vintage look and feel, but for the pricing and comparing it had to be the nashville, so i was wondering if the middle pickup would be a bother..but with the way this thing is in person its the least of my worries..i usually never care nor take the time to reveiw something once its mine but i just have to on this...its one of those keepers to age to perfection!

"Fun for a reasonable price."

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
It does everything I need. A number of friends use it for gigs, it's just plain fun to play.
Sound
I'm mostly an acoustic player, this Tele is the only electric I own. It does it all. I play it through a mid 60's Gibson amp and - surfs up.
Features
It has everything I need - I do like the maple fingerboard over the rosewood - it seems faster.
Ease of Use
Very playable - after playing the acoustics, it nice to give the fingers a rest - so to speak.
Quality
First rate.
Value
Dollar for dollar, it's one of the best buts out there.
Manufacturer Support
Never needed it.

Nice guitar. Always been a strat player so I got this model to get into a Tele. A lot for the money. Put a push pull on the tone control so I can get neck and bridge together like a standard model. Fender should do this!!

"The Nashville's Are Awesome,Mine Was A Fluke"

Overall: 2.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
Unfortunately I was 100% dissatisfied with my guitar. But please, do not judge the Fender Nashville Telecaster by my experience. I am a die-hard fan of the Nashville and will always own one. I highly recommend it to anyone.
Sound
In general, I love the Nashville model of Telecaster. That is why I made this purchase. The [articular model I purchased was quite frankly, a dud! I know this is not the norm with Fender products but in my case, the guitar was unplayable. I took to a professional guitar dealer/repair store for a general set-up thinking that would straighten out whatever was causing the issues. The Nashville would not tune. It also had a strange "alien sounding" buzz in the high "E" string. The guitar tech did a full set-up and was unable to remove the issue without physically altering the guitar so, I decided instead to just return it so as not void my warranty. Again, mine was an unusual and rare situation. Normally the Fender Nashville Deluxe Series guitar is an awesome instrument, mine was simply a flawed unit.
Features
The Nashville doesn't come with whole lot of accessories. The manual, hang-tags, and Allen wrenches for adjusting the bridge and neck are pretty much it. Oh, I almost forgot! It comes with a decent gig-bag though, I would recommend replacing it with a hard-shell case. The smaller Allen wrench for adjusting the bridge was not the correct size.
Ease of Use
Again, I only give the Nashville I received a low rating in this department because of the experience I had with this particular guitar. I recommend the Nashville very highly! Mine was the exception, not the rule!!
Quality
My Nashville was a Blemished model so I was not expecting perfection but, mine was in such a poor cosmetic condition that it should probably not have been sold! The finish was cracked on the entire guitar and it was so bad on the back of the guitar, that the clear-coat was beginning to peel off! I paid a reduced price but, not reduced enough for what was wrong with it, in my opinion.
Value
My particular guitar was not worth what the price tag read. A normal Nashville is worth every penny, my Nashville was not.
Manufacturer Support
The staff at zZounds was pretty good to me. I made several calls to support and they were always patient with me. I think zZounds support is pretty darn good!
The Wow Factor
A Nashville is a Telecaster so to me, it is very sexy!! I love Telecasters in all versions and to me, a Tele is one hot axe!
