  • @mikerecinto8253
    @mikerecinto8253 2 года назад +1

    I just ordered one. It would be my first Tele. Reasons why I chose this: the custom pickups. Most other Teles I saw on the site had pickups I can buy and put in this. But I don’t see where I can buy a non-artist based Tele and put these Tim Shaw ones on. Yes, I’m sure there are pickups that are like the ones in the JICT. The truss rod adjustment placement, the nitro finish and smooth neck. I don’t mind 7.25 radius, I’m not going to play metal on this. Can’t wait for it to arrive!

    This is a cool guitar, but I have tried 3 different ones and all of them had playability QC issues, and for 1600 bucks that is not acceptable. In general I feel like in addition to raising the prices significantly for the MIM models, Fender has also done a lot of cost cutting in their processes over the past 5 years as it seems like almost every MIM I pick up now has some fret issues and they used have really great fret work across the line for a good 5 to 10 year period there when the bang for buck on them was just amazing.
