Comment:

The guitar arrived in Greece very quickly, in 7 days. The package was very secure and tight. The guitar came with loose strings, and no setup at all. I had to adjust the truss rod, fix the action, pickup height and intonate. No big deal for me, but someone else would pay for this kind of service.

The guitar is just beautiful. Looks like a single piece body, and the overall quality is very high. Frets have no sharp edges, and the indian laurel has a very pleasant interaction with the fingers.

The sound is very nice, for guitar that cost 400 euros, but pickups could be better, as they are very compressed and lack of spark. Bridge is nice, but the neck is too "loose" sounding, very bassy and lacks definition. That affects middle position, also. Pickups sound very good in recordings, but they don’t give a good feedback in the finger. No attack at all. I immediately replaced them with a handmade Q pickups set, and the sound was shiny and clear.

This tele has a very high playability. It is very light (around 3300gr) and plays like butter, compared to a MIM one. The C shaped neck is very pleasing in playing. I have large and fat finger, and this type of "slim" neck makes my playing just as easy as breathing. Narrow tall frets, also, help a lot for bending and vibrato. The easiest playing on a "fenderish" guitar, ever, for me.

There only problem that I noticed, and affects my playing, is that the 3-way switch is very very tight and difficult to change position. I lubricate the plates inside, but I found no diffrence. It is very noisy, too.

Overall, I’d say that is a fine guitar, whose value exceeds the price paid. I would recommend it to anyone, without second thoughts.

Comment:

I had one import vintage telecaster. I was quite impresed with it´s versatile use. Wanted few upgrades, vintage bridge, bone nut, electronics etc. After I find out how much it´ll cost, I decidet to give SQ a try. O boy best decision this mont so far.

The looks is fantastic, feel is smooth. Tele is´t really heavy but it´s not cheap light 🙂

Action from the factory is dangerously high .. and strings need change, but even with those factors, guitar sounds perfect. It was setup perfectly (intonation and trussrod).

Really pleased with the guitar.
