This is Thomann's take on the classic 1952 Fender Telecaster, I guess. Whilst the timbers (neck maple, body American Ash), used are of very good quality, and the 2 piece body was very well matched, the work required to get this playable was as follows:
Frets needed levelling and polishing as well as fret ends needing dressing (easy enough). But as with all the guitars I have bought, the supplied strings were at best tarnished. As this was a left handed copy I was expecting the tone and volume pots to need addressing but actually they were very good. The weight of the guitar came as no surprise - around 8lbs, but I like some heft to my guitars, and this is bordering on the weighty for a tele-style guitar.
I would have preferred brass saddles, but that said, the resonance (string through body) was amazing, and plugged in played really well. I recommend this guitar, doubly so given it's a steal at the current price.
Again, well done Thomann.
