"Tele it like it is!"

Feature:
It has 2 humbuckers,3 way pup switch,2 separate sets of volume and tone controls,which I think could've been better made.The pots on this guitar do not fade or rise gradually,but either,you have volume and tone,or you don't!Mine came with some allen wrenches for the saddles,and the neck.

Quality:
When I got this,I had to tighten the tuners,the neck plate,along with the bridge plate also.The bridge saddles were very high and needed to be lowered,but I've since replaced them with a set of Graph-Techs.The intonation was off,and the neck needed a truss rod adjustment.Once I took care of all of those,I ended up with a great sounding guitar which I have since gigged with as a backup to my Fender Strat.

Value:
For $200.00,this could've been better set up at the factory.IMO,these are just assembled and thrown in a box to be shipped off to where ever.

Desirability:
This axe has a way cool 70's retro look that I like.

Sound:
The pickups on this guitar have a nice clean tone,but sound muddy when you're using any type of distortion.This guitar would be good for blues,country,or classic 70's rock.I don't think this would be a metalhead's axe.

Ease of Use:
This guitar is very comfortable to play,once it's set up properly.The tuners stay in tune very well.I play this through a 1997 USA,made,Peavey Studio Pro 112,which really goes well with this guitar.

Support:
Never had to deal with Fender.

Overall:
I don't see this guitar going anywhere.After I did all the adjustments,I was pleasantly surprised at this guitar.I expect to have this for a long time.

"Why I love My Squier Telecaster Custom"

Feature:
I only got a lead and a strap. but i didd't get it in in a pack.

Quality:
Squier sure does make some quality guitars and this is one one them. It is very good for its price and that it is made by Squier.

Value:
it is very afordable for the price I got it for. And because it is a top brand I rate this 10.

Desirability:
Well i can tell you my friends think it is very sexy. The black makes it very sleek and sexy!

Sound:
The sounds is great when it is clean, and it sounds soo mean with disortion! Really great with the humbuckers.

Ease of Use:
Really easy to play it is much better than strats because it has 2 volumes knobs and 2 tone knobs.

Support:
I haven't had to ring them yet.

Overall:
If anything this guitar would last a while, you might have replace some knobs or tunning pegs. Other than a few sracthes this guitar will provide long usage. I chose this guitar because of the humbuckers. That makes it better than the standard Tele's because when it's clean it sounds JUSt like the standard one does.
