« Fender Telecaster Standard (Mexican) »

I paid 350 new from a local dealer. I own a les paul custom and a fender mij strat and figured this would round it all out. I like twangy single coils also.

It's very affordable. The american ones are a little nicer but are close to a grand. The mex standard gives you all the tele feel for a good price. I like the bridge pickup. Its bright like a strat but has more meat, you get the best of both worlds. The middle position(using both pickups) is nice. It is kind smooth and twangy, better then the middle spots on a strat.

The neck pickup is a bit muddy when distorted. Sounds great clean though. If I were to play in a band I would consider replacing the pickup with a fatter sounding one. I've heard complaints about the frets being sharp on the edges but mine is fine.
The squire ones do have this problem.

Good for the money. Looks great, tuners seem fine.

Very good for the money. Alot of fun and a great contrast to a guitar with humbuckers.
