MIM (ssshhhh it doesnt say MIM opn the front so...................... :lol: ) Telecaster Standard

$449 at GC but it plays as good or better than my 06 American Deluxe Strat

Thanks Fender! I would expect a 1200 dollar Strat to be all that and a bag of chips, but this little beauty is superb. Honestly, you could replace the MIM with made in the USA and no one could tell the diff. It's that well made. Action, fit and finish is perfect.

I was one over to Fender when I picked up the Strat I bought last year. You've convinced me that Fenders are the best made guitars for the money out there(IMO). So, when I hesitantly picked up this tele I was thinkin, "yea but it's not a USA one, It cant be as good". I was wrong

I never even played a tele before, but I've been twanging this puppy for the last 3 days, and can't put it down. Even on heavy rock settings it holds its own. Id venture to say that it is even more versitile than my Strat, or any of my other guitar, for that matter.

I'm rambling, I know, but I cant help it. For the value/dollar rating, it's off the charts

Congrats, very nice looking tele, I always liked the sunburst. My very first guitar was a MIM standard tele in sunburst - I regret ever selling her.

Again - very very nice tele, enjoy it!!

Congrats on your purchase. I have a Hwy1 Tele that looks just like yours, but I love all of my MIM Fenders, too.

Enjoy!

Thanks, The more I play it, the more I love it. I only have one gripe though. But it isn't a flaw in the construction- it's the placement of the toggle switch. When I want to flip it to the front pup it takes thumb and finger to grab it and flip. On my Strat, I can just flip it with pinky.

But I still love it :D

Yeah, man that's beautiful. Exactly like mine, except mine has a black pickguard (awsome) and a chip in it. I agree with you, it holds up better and feels better than anything $300 near it's price range.

Wold you mind posting a pic of yours? I was thinking about changing to black, and maybe black tuners as well.
Thanks,
Bob
