MGR/maulder « Vester Telecaster »
Published on 06/01/04 at 15:00I purchase my guitar from a local secondhand dealer. The original asking price was $260 Aust dollars. After looking at the guitar over a number of months I managed to pick up the guitar for $160. I wasnt that interested at first but the thing grew on me and after a close inspection and noticing the serial number stamped on the back I thought it must be a good guitar.
The guitar is a telecaster shape, white in colour with a silver fleck through the paint job. Pickups are two single coil and one humbuck. One volume and one tone control and three metal selector switches giving a full range of options on pickup selection. The guitar is really well balanced and sits on my knee without tipping back of forward. The neck is a nice shape with a dark ebony finish and shark fin inlays. The whole guitar looks the goods.The sound is a full range from mellow jazz to hard rock. I play the Vester through an Ashto 80W amp and its great cannot wait to try a few effects like delay and chorus.
Nothing much really everytime I look and pick up the guitar it just feels great and comfortable I have had a Les Paul and Strat copy guitas but this leaves it for dead. Would like to purchase another one for my son so he can keep his hands off mine.
As above good quality construction however the Floyd Rose tremelo broke and I have replaced it with a strat copy which fitted really well and still looks the part. I needed to have the head repaired which was easy so after spending $450 all up I belive I have a very good quality guitar and would really want for any other
Yep look at buying one and give it a go I am amased that they are not sort after and not becoming a collectors item. It will never be up with a Fender but I can understand why Fender threatened legal action in the 80's as they are really good quality
