MGR/Pete « Jay Turser JT LT Custom »
Published on 12/28/04 at 15:00I bought this guitar on e-bay for $180. This JT LT Custom has the following features:
Flame top
Strings through body
Neck Humbucker, bridge single-coil
Maple fingerboard and neck
Gold-plated hardware
Nicely built, nice sounding. The flame maple top is much better that I expected. Very high quality flame. The body binding is even, good quality workmanship. The neck plays well, and the pick-ups sound good. I can say first hand that this guitar exceeds the cheaper fender models in quality and sound. It is their equal for playability. What can be wrong with saving $300!
This model has strings through the body, which is a nice feature for sustain. However, one of the holes on the back side of the guitar is slightly out of poisition, by perhaps 1-2 mm. A very minor complaint that barelt detracts from otherwise perfect workmanship.
Nicely made, with the excpetion of the single through-hole that does not exactly line up with the others. The gold-plating seems to be of good quality. The finish is flawless.
Highly recommended for any level of player. This has the true Tele sound and feel. I do not regret saving several hundred dollars! This is real twang for less money.
