How good is the fretwork on your son's guitar?Įdit: The first tele model that seems to me to be significantly above yours in terms of spec is the And cheap enough so that even if the hardware gets upgraded, the overall price still is very reasonable. But, as with the thomann reviews of the telecaster, for someone who just wants to try out guitar playing, the basic instrument seems good enough that it shouldn't put anyone off. Though, buying one of the slightly higher grade models (as with madshadows' 1975 bass) which already has better hardware is possibly a better long term bet. With an estimate of $150 (? - which currency) for an upgraded version with decent hardware. One of the reviews on Thomann describes upgrading this tele with Irongear pickups, a new nut, etc. From your review and the reviews on Thomann's site, it looks as if the youtube reviewer bought an instrument at the lower end of the variable quality you'd expect from a £54 guitar. On a youtube video someone pointed out that the HB telecaster they bought had poor fit around the neck. When a family member was interested in a guitar, I looked at some HB reviews.
