I am very happy with the product and service I received. I have yet to experience such personalized service from audio/music companies in my hometown. I will certainly make more purchases from Sweetwater again. If you have the product I need, I will purchase it from Sweetwater. The service is exceptional.

One Great Telecaster

I have been dreaming of haveing a Telecaster and when I saw the reviews on the American Deluxe Telecaster I knew I had to have one. I called Chris Carter at Sweetwater and he filled me in on it and wa... read more [+]s a great help to me.
The Guitar arrived and when I took it out of the box then opened the case I was ecstatic at what I saw. What a beautiful instrument this is the fit and finish are superb and the finish is out of this world. I have had a lot of guitars in my life but this is truly the best built one.
It is so easy to play and new strings along with a perfect setup and intonation make it one great buy. The S1 system along with the N3 pickups are great, It sounds so great and it is just what I was wanting.
I would not hesitate to encourage anyone to buy the American Deluxe Telecaster. I know I am wondering why I didn't do it earlier. close [-]

Fantastic Guitar

by Luke from

Several years ago, I had to part with my Standard Tele. I decided to upgrade this time around and purchased the American Deluxe. While all of the reviews I had read were positive, I was still unsure... read more [+] about ordering an instrument online without playing it first. The guitar arrived on time, and as soon as I took it out of the case I was blown away. The guitar is beautiful. The attention to detail is obvious. Everything from the finish to the frets are perfectly done. I was also unsure of how the guitar would be set up out of the box. The guys at Sweetwater clearly took the time to make sure this instrument was ready to be used. The intonation was perfect all the way up the neck, the action was great, the strings were new, and all of the electronics functioned perfectly. I am gratefull that I purchased this great Fender product, and even more gratefull that I purchased it from Sweetwater! close [-]
