I have two Fender Teles and one Fender Strat and three Gibsons. This guitar knocks all my other Fender of the board. The quality is outstanding. Absolutely a great product, the neck was perfect in comparison to the other Teles, they remind me sometimes of a saw (the frets). There is only one thing that is negative, but that doesn’t bother me: the pickups. I had no intentions to keep them anyway. I did however test them before ripping them out of the guitar. If you play without heavy distortion/overdrive then they will scream with feedback, not the good one that you can controll but with bad feedback that you can’t controll and only will hurt your ears. This has nothing to do with the wood in the body or whatever. It’s the microphones and the construction of them with gigantic magnets glued in the bottom of the mic. But again, this is my new favorite, it’s so cheap that I will order another one soon. Best buy ever. Thank’s Thomann and Fender.
