My Fender 52 Tele arrived today!
It's been on back order since early November - and as it's a Christmas pressie, I only took it out of the box long enough to check it wasn't damaged and have a quick play - but first impressions are good!
(Sorry - no pics till Santa gives it to me!)
Finish is nice (not quite as nice as my Epiphone Les Paul, but still more than acceptable for a relatively cheap instrument), Frets edges are smooth - no sharp bits!
Tuners are solid and smooth operating
Action is nigh on perfect - nice and low with no buzzing at all
Quick check of the intonation and it seems good (only used the onboard tuner, so that will have to be compared with my clip on tuner)
The electrics are Fishman, but I've yet to plug it into the amp.
It came with Aquilas, but I'll most likely go with my current string of choice - the LWS - and probably go for a Low G setup, as my Les Paul is in re-entrant.
Definitely a nice addition to my collection
