USA Made to be played TELE

Music Background:  40 years Playing-recording Classic Rock & Blues

USA flawless craftsmanship, beautiful sunburst paint job, fast very smooth playing maple neck due to the jumbo frets that most guitars do not have, they also make it easier for bending strings. Nitro-cellulose finish brings out tone and sustain from the wood more than poly urethane, but the only thing I don't like is the satin-matte finish & white pickguard. I put on a brown shell pickguard and it makes the appearance. Other than the flat finish this is a workhorse of a guitar. The pickups are new hotter tele overwound, very friendly for distortion for rock players. There is still the great tele country twang for country, and the neck pickup is very smooth and creamy similar to a Gibson woman tone. You can play just about any type of music on this,and it can more than handle the job. More than worth the price, but Fender should throw in a hard shell case. This guitar is made to be played and abused. This has the whole package, great pickups, great fast, smooth neck with jumbo frets other guitars don't have at a price that is really very reasonable. I would have paid more for this.
