Fantastic guitar
My fiance took me guitar shopping for my 35th birthday and from the second I played this guitar, I knew it was the one . I tried several other Telecasters and this one felt the best.
The neck pickup is clear and silky smooth. A few of the higher priced Telecasters that I tried had much muddier sounding necks. I've been using it to make weird ambient guitar music and I'm able to perfectly make synth pad sounds by dialing the tone knob down. The Bridge pickup has a wonderful vintage tone to it and that Tele twang is just gorgeous.
The guitar feels nice to hold/play. The selector switch doesn't feel cheap and the volume/tone knobs are excellent. Even slight adjustments on the tone knob can drastically alter the sound. I've been playing guitar on and off for about 18 years and this is easily the best guitar I've ever touched. For the price, you can not go wrong with the Classic Vibe 50s Telecaster
Preferred Settings + Usage:
The setting I use most on this is Neck pickup volume at about 80% tone about halfway.
