The pickups are louder and fuller than a standard tele. No fret ends sticking out a very smooth neck, had to lower the strings and cut the nut a little bit, but it plays like a dream, very low action without any buzz, love the pickups, no bright tinny sound from this guitar, weight is like an average tele. the tuners really work well, a lot better than other imports.

A little concerned (well founded) at first. It's a product of Indonesia, not the best mfg source for guitars. Worries confirmed upon arrival. Misaligned neck in which high up the neck, the high E string wanted to slide off the fretboard nearest the neck joint. I got on YouTube, relieved to find there is a simple remedy whereby you loosen the neck plate bolts and firmly jiggle the neck in it's socket. I made several tries, and it worked. It may need more tinkering. The Guitar: It is a major improvement to the original t-style. No tele I've owned sounds like THIS. Bluesy, jazzed drenched pickups and a sexy, sultry, gloss tinted neck that feels oh so familiar in your hands. Solid stable bridge, it keeps in tune. I have no need to buy another fender. It has a seductive voice that begs you to pick it up. I'm sitting near it on a Saturday morning and as I write this it seems to call out to me....
