I like it. Got the green. The string slots are filed a little low for my taste the bridge a little high but playable out of the box. Good looking not the greatest sound but a great guitar to upgrade or for a beginner. My 3rd grote and happy. Adding on to my reveiw. This thing is really nice. Tweeked the truss rod a bit and lowered the bridge a bit and it plays perfect. The tuners feel a little cheap but no dead spots and it stays in tune great! No complains at all im an very impressed. Ive never had a tele or semi hollow before and this combo is more impressive every time i pick it up. Im bangin the strings playing hard rock and its sounding pretty good and tight. Maybe my old school crate gx amp helps but i dont care. Any upgrades will be happily done. Cant imagine any better for for 3 times the price. Thanks grote a very happy 3 time buyer!

The packaging kinda sucked. I'm a little surprised it survived the trip. Was a regular cardboard guitar box, but just had loose scraps of styrofoam jammed into the box next to the guitar. That was the manufacturers packing. Amazon stuck that into box big enough I could ship myself in it, and... nothing else. Just a cubic yard of air. Dunno what that's about. Otherwise. I dig it. Might need a setup. Action is maybe a little high I think. Intonation between 0/12 is SPOT on, which is groovy. Tuned right up, and has stayed there as well as any other guitar. The electronics seem mostly pretty good. The sound is, to my ears, much better than my other cheap tele, by a lot. It's every bit as pretty as the pictures. Some folks might not like the neck, it's either bare wood, or a VERY light finish on it. I kinda prefer that; I always feel like heavy lacquers seem 'sticky'. The body is just a little smaller than my other cheap tele, and it's notably lighter. The nut on the output jack fell off after an hour, but... I've never had a guitar that the darn thing didn't wiggle loose on so it didn't bug me much. The bridge is 6 barrels, and I don't think I like it. I will probably replace it with an aftermarket one with the more traditional saddles I'm used to. Pretty sure that issue's more in my head than actually with the guitar. I've only had it for 24 hours, so I still gotta give it a few months for the 'new and shiny' to wear off, but... this cheap little guitar is fighting real REAL hard to be one of my favorites.

Background: Experienced player just getting back into the guitar game after 15 years. I have experience with Strats, Les Pauls, Kramers, Martins, Ibanezzezsez, . I have always done all of my own work on my guitars, including setup, repairs, finishing, etc., including a partscaster that I built from scratch this summer. I miss some of the stuff I sold, like my '69 Thinline Reissue. Loved that guitar and always regretted selling it. When I saw this, I had to have it. And for less than $125, it seemed like a low-risk proposition. First impressions. I must say, when I got it out of the box and unwrapped it, I was stunned with the way it looked. It is one handsome looking guitar and seems like it should be way more expensive than it is. The "flaming" is definitely printed, but looks good from 2-3 feet away. The hardware is shiny and polished. Fret edges required no filing. Frets themselves were a little rough, but just playing it made that much better. The binding is the approprate cream color (just that little touch does so much for the guitar). A yellower, more vintage looking finish on the neck would make it look all that much better, but it's still not bad. Some details aren't quite as good. The binding around the neck has a little roughness to it. The volume and tone knobs look great from straight on, but when you rotate them through their travel, you can see lots of variation in the knurling, almost as if there was some sort of casting error. It's not obvious from the front, however. Perhaps the biggest disappointment was the surface flaw in the front of the guitar. Why the front? Why couldn't this be on the back? LOL. The pics show it. It's not huge, but it's there, and I first noticed it when I set the guitar up vertically and walked back from it. And yes, it can be seen from a distance, even though it's not immediately obvious. See the pics to get an idea. It doesn't look like a dent that was gotten in transit...no cracking of the wood or finish. Just a dent, which looks like some sort of slight warpage in the wood. You tend to forget that when you fire it up for the first time and hear that sound, though. Kick that switch down to the bridge position, roll the tone back a little, and you're in Tele heaven. Pull that switch up, and it's Jazz Night at the Birdland. From a pure "quality of sound" standpoint, it takes me right back to my Thinline. This thing is SUCH a "tone dog". But then, you start playing chords. And that's when the negatives start creeping back in. Intonation from the factory was way off. So, I started to set it up. For the record, I've never had issues intonating a guitar. This one looked to be much the same. Everything, according to my tuner (the same one that I used to set up my last guitar with no problem) was set correctly when I was finished. But, I simply could not get the thing to sound correct. All strings showing the same note for harmonic octave and fretted at the 12th. Play a D, sounds great. Play a C, sounds like it I never tuned it. Go back and check, everything looks right. Simply can't get a good intonation. Some chords ring true, some sound like hot garbage. It's bad. Further, I noticed that I had to have my amp a little more cranked than I did with my other guitar. The pickups simply aren't hot, and when I started getting to the volume I wanted, the sound started breaking up pretty significantly. Not that it sounded bad, mind you...its just hard to keep it clean because of the low output. As far as playability is concerned, it's not bad at all. I'll say it's probably as easy or even easier than my Strat (of course, my strat has 10's on it and this one has what appear to be 9's). I do have a bit of fret buzz on the low E, not audible through the amp when playing, so no biggie. The neck did not have enough relief in it, so I loosened the truss rod in hopes that the strings would pull some relief in the neck, but the truss rod was already very loose, and the neck didn't seem to move in 24 hours. Its almost like they tried to back the truss rod all the way out from the factory to get the neck back in line, because the adjustment I made didn't feel like it did anything. Volume, tone, and pickup switching all work smoothly with no static. This guitar doesn't hum like my Strat does, either. Nice. Hardware leaves something to be desired. The saddles in particular are poorly executed. I noticed that the high E string had a buzzy/ringy sound and no sustain. I looked along the entire path of the string. I finally found that, after the string comes out of the body and before it crosses the saddle, it was making contact with the spring that locates the saddle. It was negatively affecting the sound of that string and killing the sustain of it. Thought of how to fix it, and I finally made a "spring stop" out of a tiny metal plate and threaded it onto the saddle screw. The spring rests against that instead of the back of the saddle, leaving it out of the way of the string, yet still able to hold pressure against the saddle screw (see pic). Yes, it's a kludge, but it got the spring out of the way and now the high E rings clear, plus it can be set back to stock in five minutes. But, the saddles and/or bridge really need to go if you want to make this thing a serious player. More $$$. As others have said, the tuners seem a bit slippy. In some cases, they seem to turn with the proper resistance, and in some cases, they seem really light. As of right now, the guitar does go out of tune occasionally. More often than I'd like, to be honest. When you turn the tuners, you can hear the string sticking in the nut, which is often a cause of a guitar that goes out of tune frequently. Lubing the nut (and the bridge, and every other contact point of the strings) got rid of the sticking sound, but didn't fix the guitar's propensity to go out of tune. Really needs new tuners to be right. Cha-ching. There goes that cash register again. The concept of a cheap guitar loses it's appeal when you have to spend $$$ to make it a player. And I'm not sure that throwing money at it would necessarily fix the intonation problem. As much as I want to dislike this guitar, I can't. I have a soft spot for Teles generally and Thinlines in particular. So, it broke my heart to finally resign myself to the fact that I just needed to cut my losses and return it. I really wanted to like it...I mean, the idea of a budget Thinline is fantastic. And I'm not averse to doing a little work in the setup of it, but this seemed to go beyond that. Maybe I just got a bad one. Either way, I'm not going to risk it for a second time. And since so many others had good luck with it, I'll rate it three stars instead of two or one.

Arrived semi well packaged. Not much padding in box. Just a couple of foam blocks. Here & there. But absolutely no damage or scratches. It did need a total setup. I adjusted the truss rod.

With Graphtechs string saver saddles. Changed the pickups. For Seymour Duncan's Brad paisley LA Brea. Pickups. I replaced the tuners. On the headstock. With Graphtech gear ratio locking tuners. And replaced the top string nut. With a Graphtech tusk nut. Changed strings to Daddario xl light Gauge. I also replaced the volume and tone. Control pots. For Dunlops super pots.
