"Thank you dear Seymour...!"
Feature:Materials used is top class. The body is resonant tone-wood lite ash and neck is rich figured birds-eye maple. The letter is with glued fingerboard on, although there is a skunk-strip behind - but never mind. It works. The tuners are pretty solid and three saddles ashtray too. I would prefer Schallers or Grovers and I'm going to mount Tele Bigsby unit on. Also I will change a selector switch to a 4-way.
Quality:
Factory quality control is correct. I think that it is about right time to congratulate to a Koreans. They are already fine masters in luthier field and no Europeans or Americans are capable of doing any better (in far east price category). Set-up is poor. But, does anybody expects set-up at all for that kind of money (cca 500 Euros)? Yes, it is surely for 'on the road' use. Lite Ash Tele is a mighty working-horse.
Value:
Lite Ash Tele is worth each penny of its price!
Desirability:
After more then 30 years in music I have many guitars and I love them all. But Lite Ash Telecaster is a real Gods gift to me: like I finally get something I always dreamed about. I've got beautiful, musical and characterful instrument. I've spreaded my voice. God blees you dear Seymour and all you Koreans!
Sound:
It is a guitar like made for - me. Thanks to mr. Seymour Duncan and his intelligent and wise making pickups - bridge one on a darker side and neck one on the brighter side. An excellent ballance and very sophisticated timbar with plenty of vivid sound in every musical action. 'Naughty' and noble at the same time. A real charmy Tele...Friendly and 'play me'... Lite Ash Tele is wonderfully 'flat' guitar (no peaks, no downs in a chromatic scale) sounding as well in my amps (Fender Twin Reverb w. JBLs, Vox AC 30, Marshall VS-100R...)as plugged in directly to a Roland VS-l680 porta-studio, for example. Live or recorded, it is always highly professional leveled and authoritative. And very fresh voice in the whole Fender spectar.
Support:
Our croatian dealer is very friendly and always on a service, but I didn't have any problem with warranty.
Overall:
I'm going to play it as long as I live together with my other guitars. I didn't search for it - Lite Ash fond me (!). When I first saw it I knew I must - have it. If lost or stolen, the only solution is to get a new one. It can't be replaced!
