Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? the guitar is very well built thought it would scratch easy but nothing so far. Reliability How has it stood up over time? i've only had for a day or two now.but so far it's held in tune sure does sound better than my les paul custom i had. General Your general opinion of this product. i'd reccomend this guitar for anyone looking for a telecaster 72 deluxe.they have the same pickups as the 72 deluxe Made in mexico version. got a deal on it for 250! Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? So smooth and easy. i feel like i can do more on this tele more than i could ever do on a les paul. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? Bright snappy.the neck is pretty dark more of a les paul tone.The neck pickup is bright and just right! Finish How did the stain or paint job look? the paint job is beautiful. Action How was the action out of the box? the action was setup perfectly out of the box! I'd recommend this guitar to everyone.
