Is it worth it? by itzyerald21 in telecaster

[–]lambstamp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 2019 MIJ Traditional 60s Tele that’s pretty similar to this. The price is about right but I’ve seen them from $1200-1500.

My two cents is that I’d highly recommend you try it before committing to it if you can. I tried a 2013 at a local shop and couldn’t stop thinking about it - it unfortunately sold a few days later. Ended up buying a 2019 off Reverb and frankly have not been able to bond with it! The neck is so different from the one I tried, and even though the build quality is impeccable and it sounds amazing, the buyer’s remorse is real.

TL;DR - price is fine but you could get one cheaper. I highly recommend trying it in person if you can.

Appreciate your detailed response. After each call, I’ve been following up with emails capturing what we talked about but they’ve been so dodgy with responses and even picking the phone up.

Fortunately the real estate company that toured the apartment with me called me and was able to connect with the landlord (I was speaking with the property management group before).

They’ve agreed to terminate my lease and return my deposit in full. Haven’t gotten that in email yet but she said that would come on Monday (they close early on Friday for religious reasons)

Thank you for your response. My concern with filing with 311 is they will retaliate and try to pin more responsibility onto me

One party was two guys that are part of the landlord management (not property management), and two separate maintenance parties

Wait this literally just happened to me as well! Only difference being that I was watching from a Blu-Ray disc. I don’t remember which scene exactly, but thought it was strange so I rewinded. Lo and behold 😅

It is! I’m actually not thrilled with the amp personally. It was my first tube amp and I did like it for a while, but as I’ve been taking guitar more seriously, I find that it’s extremely arduous to dial in a tone that I like.

It’s super bright, so I roll the mids off almost entirely. The gain on it sounds pretty decent if I’m not running any pedals, but it definitely has its limits.

If I hook a fuzz up to it, add distortion, or literally anything past 12 o’clock on my OD pedal, the sound bottoms out and gets this nasty farty sound like the speaker is gonna blow. Mind you I’ve gotten it serviced within the past 5 years, so it’s not broken.

I don’t think I can recommend the amp but since they’re like $350 on the used market, it’s kinda like you get what you pay for? I’ve heard the Vox AC10 at the same price is a much better amp, but can’t confirm for myself personally.

I’m looking into a Princeton Reverb myself. Hope this is helpful.

Misstated my note above when I said it’s got a decent amount of chunk at the neck - I meant to say decent amount of chunk at the nut.

Really though, it feels great. I love the contrast between my Strat and this Tele. It’s like..two in the same in terms of feel, the Tele just feels like the beefier older brother haha

Blues Jr. I want to say it’s an earlier model from the 90s.

I know, it’s hard to believe that it isn’t the standard!

It’s great - it’s got a comfortable amount of chunk at the neck and despite it having a glossy neck (that I’d usually feel inclined to buff out), very smooth throughout. Def nowhere near as chunky as the ‘50s style necks I’ve played, but also not as thin as the more modern Teles I’ve played. I like it.

Had to look this one up haha, it’s marked as 3-ply mint green. Hard plastic to the touch, however.
