Hey guys, hoping someone out there can help me out.

I have a buddy on his way over, he's got a FMT Tele. Unfortunately, at his last gig, he popped a high E and only had a B on him, so he used that and tuned it to pitch as a high E. He then forgot to take the tension off after the gig and it sat for a few days that way.

He's put a proper high E on it, but says it feels funny now. I'm hoping we can just give her a setup and solve the feel problem, as he had complained that he didn't like the way it felt before this fiasco anyway. Definitely hoping there's been no permanent damage to that set neck......

Either way, I couldn't find anything on these specific guitars with regard to setups, at least not here on the fender site (could absolutely have missed it somehow). Does anybody know the proper string heights fender recommends for these guitars? Is it just the same as any other tele, as I can find that on here for sure. I just set the action on my guitars to what feels good to me, so even though I have the tools to measure and whatnot, I don't personally bother with mine. But I wanted to start with the proper setup and take it from there based on how that feels to him.

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks in advance!!!

There is nothing special about the setup on these guitars. Set them up just like you would any other Tele.
