I Love this Guitar

I recieved my new Telecaster two weeks ago and feel in love with this guitar, the first thing i noticed is it looks more expensive in person then in the pictures, and you can see the quaility, I love the Midnite Wine color, I had read the other reviews on this guitar before i purchased it, and they were right when they stated this guitar plays like butter, its true, it was so much easier to play it was smooth you dont have to press down very hard on the fret broad to get a true sound ring out, the pick ups are great, if you are looking to buy a great guitar for a great price this is the one, you wont be sorry, the only thing you will have to do is get it setup, which is no big deal, Oh one last thing some of the other reviews stated that the Telecaster isn't a great guitar for Heavy metal, well when I put it on destored it seems to me to sound great, so not sure what they were talking about. if you are reading this review and are thinking about getting a Standard Telecaster MIM I would say get it you wont be sorry you got this guitar.

best bang for the bucks

I've always wanted a Telecaster, without taking out a mortgage. This is a good entry level telecaster, Out of the box it played nice some string buzz on the low E not too bad though. Took to my luthier,set it up for me, just needed some tweaking on the neck,and the saddles. I added some personal changes, a pearloid pick guard,and strap locks. Holds tuning well, has that twang I wanted. I would recommend this guitar to anyone.

Our Customers Say...

My Sales Engineer knows all his products. I can call and ask him anything and he's on top of it. Some other places just want to sell you something, but I've found Sweetwater to be a helpful, professional company to work with.
