Fender Vintera Road Worn '50s Telecaster MN Lake Placid Blue
I am very happy with this Guitar it is a really good sound and the neck is lovely to play. There is an American style bridge which helps with intonation which is easy to adjust with the screws behind the brass saddles, the fiesta red is the exact depiction of what that colour actually is and it has a really well finished gloss. There is a bright sound from the Alnico Five pickups which are designed by Tim Shaw which adds to the value of this guitar. There pickups are low output so a boost pedal would be required to get the most out of the instrument. It has been staying in tune very well the last few days and the string changes are very easy to manoeuvre. I would highly recommend this guitar for professionals use and for people who would like to get a very good instrument for practicing. One minor issue I had was that there was residue on the neck but a quick clean and polish with some lemon oil does the job. Great guitar and looks authentic from the 50’s
