A Surprisingly Satisfying Guitar

by Rick Langdon from Raleigh, NC
May 18, 2012
Music Background: Long-time guitarist
I have always enjoyed the Telecaster and the Stratocaster each for their own voice and merits. But this Blackout Tele is special from the tones to the appearance ... very solid and I particularly like... read more [+] the neck feel of this guitar (and the aged tint of the maple)

After many months of ownership: I enjoy this Tele more the longer I have it. If you like both the Strat and Tele and can't decide, I highly recommend you try this one out. I cut my teeth on a Strat and thought that is what I wanted but I also like Tele's. When I found this one, I found a Tele that can definitely go into "Strat Territory". Sure it is not a Strat, but I have to say that it may be the next best thing to having one of each. Consider adding the very inexpensive push-pull tone control mod that allows you to invoke the neck pickup on demand (for that classic Tele bridge/neck combo tone) and then you will have one very versatile and enjoyable Fender guitar. close [-]

I have played many guitars and this one rivals even the Les Paul. It has a larger price tag than the standard Tele but the added pickup and gorgeous all black body makes it worth the extra dinero.

This telecaster is great. There are a great amount of tones available with the 3 pick ups. One can go from chiming single-coil sound to a clear and monstrous roar. The construction and quality of the ... read more [+]instrument is what you would expect from a Fender instrument. It is perfect for the intermediate player. It has awesome looks too!
