Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? Top-notch quality, everything on the guitar is just highest quality. Reliability How has it stood up over time? I've only had it for a few weeks, but Fender put lots of love and care into this guitar and it shows. General Your general opinion of this product. WOW! What can I say about this guitar that convey the quality and workmanship on it? I have about 15 guitars and this blows everything else out of the water. It's that good. I had an American Deluxe before and it was a dog, especially compared to this one. I should've bought this a long time ago. It's light in weight (about 6 lbs), love the butterscotch blonde nitro finish on a premium ash body, really digging the original 7.5 radius (?) on the neck, it's just about perfect. The tone, I left the wiring stock, is soul-ful and twangy, it's just lovely. The best guitar, who needs Custom Shop? Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? It just feels perfect, I could play this thing from dawn to dusk, if I had the time. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? It's a telecaster, so it's bright; I love the vintage wiring, it's got everything, bright and dark, but so smooth. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? Perfect paint/finish on the guitar, love the nitro smell. Action How was the action out of the box? Perfect, out of the box, I only needed to tune the strings.
