Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? This guitar is surprising well made. The only thing I don't like is the 3 section adjustable bridge. This may be a personal thing with me, but every Tele I've had with this type of bridge was difficult to keep in tune and would slip and buzz. I have a 6 saddle bridge that I intend to swap out. Reliability How has it stood up over time? I only had it a few months, but if it's like my other Fenders, I have no concerns. Overall Your general opinion of this product. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and workmanship of this MIM guitar. I have heard so much negative about the Mexican products I was hesitant to buy it. But the proof is in the tone and play ability. This one's a keeper! Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? The neck has a deep C-shape. Reminded me of my SG at first. I quickly got comfortable with it. It plays well. It's not a metal machine so I find it plays fast enough for country and blues. I primarily got it for country and Americana type music. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? I was surprised to find that it had a good blues sound to it. Otherwise it sound like you'd expect a Tele to sound. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? Mine is black. I have found no flaws. I am very particular about my guitars and keep them looking as new as possible, playing out. Action How was the action out of the box? The action out of the box was fine. I do set up all my own guitars so it's not really an issue.
THIS FENDER THINLINE IS GREAT
