Ok, so I have to admit that I was a bit skeptical that a sub $100 guitar could really play well. So... now I am eating a bit of crow because this one actually plays really well. Now, as with all new guitars shipped across time-zones, it did require a little bit of set up work. I normally do a complete set up (to include some fret work as needed), but in this case I didn't have my fret tools handy.

Ok, so I have to admit that I was a bit skeptical that a sub $100 guitar could really play well. So... now I am eating a bit of crow because this one actually plays really well. Now, as with all new guitars shipped across time-zones, it did require a little bit of set up work. I normally do a complete set up (to include some fret work as needed), but in this case I didn't have my fret tools handy. I was able to do everything else (new strings, string height, intonation, etc) and spent the afternoon playing with this guitar. I have never owned a tele, much less a three barreled bridge, so it took some getting used to, but I have to say it is doing really well. Once I get the frets sorted out (I have been able to identify roughly 8-9 fret areas that need some tweaking) then this will play as well as any of my other guitars. Ok, Glarry, you made a believer out of this aging skeptic. Thanks. I will probably order one of the semi-hollow telecaster versions soon. My only regret on this GTL tele is that you didn't have it in a red burst rather than the blue. :)
