MGR/Bob « Fender American Series Telecaster »
Published on 12/04/02 at 15:00I purchased this Tele at Musician's Friend. I paid $649.00 site unseen. The price was $150-$200.00 less than any music store in my area. It was worth the chance and I must admit that Musician's Friend was 1st Class. I received exactly what I ordered with not so much as a scratch.
This Tele is the Hot Rod Red w/Rosewood Fretboard. It came out of the box set up just right. Came with .009"-.042" light super bullets and action and string height are well within tolerances.
Plays very smooth and produces that Tele sound just fine.
It is very well built, well balanced, and All the hardware is tight, smooth, and functions properly.
All the components fit nicely, built and assembled with attention to detail. The finish is superb. It is absolutely flawless.
A+ to Fender for this one.
It is so easy to play. Frets are dressed, neck is fast, and runs are clean.
The electronics are simple but sound great. No noise through my Marshall. No noise through anything.
The two things I like the most about this Tele is the Feel and the Sound.
It fits, it just fits.
Other than the basic, simple, homely look of a Tele, I really have no dislikes with this one.
The construction is fine. It was built to last. The workmanship on this particular one is outstanding. Everything fits nicely. The cuts and router opennings are clean and tight. The hardware is tight and smooth. Nothing is sloppy. The volume pod has a little vertical play, but other than that everything seems to operate correctly.
Bottom line...
If you really like a Telecaster, then in my humble opinion, this is a good choice. It was close to perfect right out of the box. The workmanship is excellent, and the hardshell molded Fender case and accessories that come with it are a great perk.
Also, I would not hesitate to order anything from Musician's Friend. The condition of my Tele out of the box (shipped accross many states) was better than any I picked up off the walls at my local music stores. They go out of their way to satisfy their customers.
No one was able to beat their price on this Telecaster. NO ONE !
