MGR/Davis « Fender Standard Telecaster »
Published on 10/18/04 at 15:00I picked this up at a local Guitar Center in late 2003. It had a small scratch on the side, dropping the price to 300 dollars.
I love the feel of telecasters. People say it's a country guitar, but it can be used for almost any style of music. I rock out with Led Zeppelin tunes, and I play a lot of Allman Brothers tunes on this baby. I love the maple neck, because it is fast. The neck pick up has that muddy sound great for playing blues. If you crank up the overdrive and put it on the neck pick up, it has a great Zeppelin tone. I also like the look of the guitar. I can see myself in the finish! It sounds and plays great.
It could be a little lighter. It also picks up a little too much noise when next to other electronics. I guess that's what i get for using single coils, but it could still be better. I would also like the neck to be set, but for the price... whatever.
Overall, the finish and construction of this unit is great. Like I said, I would prefer a set neck, but it is fine. It is also very thick and heavy, although I prefer something lighter, I guess it gives it a good tone. I like the neck construction and the headstock, as I've always liked all the tuners facing me.
If you play slow, muddy blues or raging Zeppelin music, I would reccomend you pick this baby up. I would suggest going for something with a set neck though, like the American series.
