"The ideal guitar."

Feature:
It's good, simple is better. I only wish they made one with 23 frets.

Quality:
It feels very solid but I had a jack go out after about 3 months, had it replaced free, or course.

Value:
It has great sound at an affordable price. I don't see a sturdier and brighter instrument at any price.

Desirability:
I wanted one of these forever but something always came up (amps, effects, classic guitars, a bass) and it took forever for me to decide to buy one of these. I wish I had gotten it much earlier. It is the symbol of generations of rock music and is associated with great musicians.

Sound:
It has a very clean sound: the classic twang, but it sounds a bit weak on some amps and at high gain. It can play a soft rhythm and scream when I want it to. It's a guitar that you can strum with force.

Ease of Use:
It's the simplest, most straightforward guitar out there.

Support:
They fixed it in just a couple of days.

Overall:
I would definitely replace it if it was stolen and would hunt down the sorry sucker that stole it. It's great but it could use a stronger pickup at times.

"Screaming Tele!"

Feature:
As others have stated it's a basic instrument. Solid body (heavier than I imagined), maple neck, two pu, one vol, one tone, three way pu selector. Comes with Fender owner manual, two allen wrenches. It's so simple it's genius! I highly recomend to all, great for beginners too. I purchased the black one and it comes with a white pickguard which I could not stand looking at. I found a few different styles/colors on the Internet and got a new one, man oh man now she's a "beaut".

Quality:
It seems well made (it is the MIM model). The only problem I noted was some gunk on the frets, I think it was from the final factory buffing process. I re-strung and cleaned off with lemon oil no problem. Knobs, switches were tight and work fine. Input jack was tight. Set up was good, intonation good. I lowered action a tad but thats my preference. I always have a back up while performing, it's the best plan to have in case of emergencies. But I must say I have never had a problem with Fenders, there is no battery to die so unless a solder joint breaks or pot goes out you probabaly won't have a problem. But if you are a serious performer you need to have a back up no matter what type of guitar you own.

Value:
I think that overall the tele is a great value and the base model is available at a great price.

Desirability:
Well it is kind of appealing to me visually, especially with the new pick guard.

Sound:
This Tele just screams! I love it, been playing Gibsons and Strats for 40+ years and this is the first Tele I have played, it's great! Plugged in to an old Korg Pandora 300 on blues setting and it just sounds fantastic, especially that bridge pick up. Seems to have excellent sustain, I think it comes with light strings .042-.009 and they sound pretty good. I'm gonna go to .046-.010 and see if there is a noticeable difference, if there is I'll go back to the .009 and leave it alone.

Ease of Use:
Great sounds just come pouring out. Very simple to adjust i.e. take out a little treble, add treble, select pu etc. The neck is comfortable like my strat, but similar to my Les Paul also.

Support:
I have never had to call for Fender support-I fix all my own stuff warranty or not.

Overall:
If it was stolen or broken I would replace it ASAP. I love the sound, hate the white pickguards.

"I love my tele"

Feature:
It has what you need. The tone knob controls tone. The volume controls volume. The switch switches. Nothing fancy nothing you don't need.

Quality:
No probs here

Value:
A great guitar at half the price of other great guitars

Desirability:
A must have guitar

Sound:
I wanted a telecster. I sounds like a telecaster.

Support:
Haven't needed them....thats the best.

Overall:
I may add a second guitar but I probably will always have my tele

Feature:
Wish there where more pick up options available stock.

Sound:
Very warm with the standard Telecaster twang for a low cost price what more can anyone ask for.

"SEXIEST GUITAR EVER!!!"

Feature:
Nice pick ups for that beautiful telecaster sound

Quality:
Real sweet machine, well put together

Value:
This is a sweet guitar for a respectablle price, you definitely get what you pay for

Desirability:
This is the sexiest guitar in the world. Simplicity is key but it still intrigues the eye. BUT, this is definitely not just for looks, its a sweet player too

Sound:
Luvly Luvly Luvly Luvly Luvly

Support:
Havent had to deal with the support system so i put 9 so as not to stop the trend

Overall:
Absolute brilliance
