How do you know if you get a lemon tele?

For instance, I was thinking of getting a Fender Lite Ash tele, and one of the largest concerns of buying this guitar over the internet is it's large percantage chance of being a lemon. But none of the stores around here carry it, so I will just have to resort to ordering online. So what should I look for to see if it is a lemon vs. real?

my best advice in your situation is to order it off a reputable site in which they have a return policy... a few of the bigger names will allow for an exchange for just that problem, but check with customer service before ordering, in fact i would order from one of those sites on the phone anyways to be sure the info is secure

it would always be better to play it first, but in your case, i feel ordering online would be good.. besides, fender generally has great quality control and the lite ash is a great guitar

It's a pretty well built guitar. I am sure there will be no problems if you order it online. I love mine, the look, the feel and the sound.

I have one too, i ordered by phone and asked the guy in the shop to give it a once over for me before he sent it out - i'd heard that the routing around the pickups can be a bit ropey and that sometimes the control plate can be squint so i asked him to check these in particular. Anyway i got my tele and it's a great guitar! :D
