Great indepth review buddy. SO close to ordering one of these either in white or srf green 💚. Where you from BTW... trying to figure out your accent.. 🤔
Glad you liked the video. Good luck if you order the guitar. I decided to send this one back after a few days thinking about it. That neck/bridge alignment issue bothered me too much :-) And there’s so many other good guitars out there now. I’m originally from up north in the UK, a mix of Merseyside and Yorkshire. But there will be some Dutch sounds and grammar sneaking in now as I’ve lived in NL so long.
@ColinLPrice ah cool. I'm from Merseyside originally. Yeah been looking at the harley benton and there's a brand called ANTIQUITY that are getting great reviews too
@@MJG817 Antiquity as from PMT I guess, the same as the East Coast brand from Andertons. I’m tempted by a vintage white Tele in their selection but hesitant due to the import taxes and hassle that’s now involved when ordering from the UK.
I'd send it back. Neck is slightly misaligned, I don't like the sound of _that_ P90, the 6-saddle bridge would not suit me, prefer a traditional string-thru body with three intonated brass barrel saddles. You could slacken the neck screws and micro-adjust the angle of the neck to correct the string alignment, but I don't think it's worth the investment in fixing. And the body is too thin! Might be worth trying the HB Prince-style Tele clone?
The simple iPhone recording I made may not have done the pickup justice, I like it. And the top-loader style in general. I'm going to decide in the next couple of days if it will stay or not. I'm not keen on the colour scheme of that Prince HB model, but maybe the black Paisley one...
The Teles from Bax are roughly 38mm thick, not the proper thickness, regardless of model or material. The "resetting" of the neck is probably going to fix the alignment issue, again most likely but since it is new, just send it back as you stated.
They certainly seem similar build quality. I tried a Jet model a while back. It didn’t have the neck/bridge problem this guitar had though. Just the wrong colour (for me). And no P90 in that model.

@@ColinLPrice Only suggested the Prince style model 'cos it has two strat-like single coils instead of tele-type. So a different character of tone.

Fazley and jet are the same
