Quality
Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable?
Much like other higher end MIM telecasters, this one is on par with a lot of American mades. I'm always pleasantly surprised by what they turn out in the factory south of the border. For the price point can't be beat
Reliability
How has it stood up over time?
Only had it a couple months, had a string swap and intonation done after it came, so far so good.
General
Your general opinion of this product.
Great player, can compete with tele's 2 to 3 times its price point.
Playability and Feel
How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing?
Been a while since I've had a tele in my hand, the neck seems slightly thinner than I remember, but still great. Like most tele's feels solid and beefy with out being off balance.
Tone
Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin?
Great tele sound, will probably trade out pick ups down the road for something a lil better, for now sounds fine.
Finish
How did the stain or paint job look?
The picture doesn't do this thing justice, it's out of the box sexy!!!
Action
How was the action out of the box?
low no buzz.
