Current slide {CURRENT_SLIDE} of {TOTAL_SLIDES}- Best-selling in Electric Guitars
I bought this MIM tele a couple weeks ago & it really surprised me with how low the action is & how I can get a fat sound out of it. Now I've always liked the Mexican made Tele's , next to a US made one there really the next best thing. As a matter of fact I've owned both US & MIM & there's some I can't tell the difference between & this is one of them. I've been running it through a fender blues jr for practice & it's a great combination. For the price i paid & how good of a guitar it is i really got a steal. I couldn't be more happy.

I love the LPB bodies, but I've discovered that my Fender standard LPB body is a 4 piece alder. Perhaps Fender decides to hide 4 piece bodies with their hottest-selling colors, while leaving the preferred 2 piece tone beauties to the translucent finishes. The MIM pickups sometimes are thin-sounding. If you've ever watched a video of construction of the MIM Fenders, you'll see that speed is their number one goal. Still, these are generally a lot of guitar for the money.

I mean it’s a Telecaster. It has a repaired headstock but I can’t see where it was damaged. It’s used also it’s broken in. My go to was a MIC Telecaster which is sweet. This American Telecaster is lighter but just as sweet. I’ve replaced all my “foreign” made guitars with American made. Kids are gone, house is paid off. I’m doing things I could never afford guitar wise.

I bought this MIM (Made in Mexico) Fender Standard Telecaster to have a good guitar at a low price. Also, I wanted a guitar I could modify and improve. I knew the MIM Fenders are not of the same quality as the American Fenders so I wasn't under any illusions when I bought the instrument. To my surprise, it is better than I'd expected. I've had MIM guitars before and the problem is the quality is inconsistent. Some are good while others show sloppy craftsmanship. You never know when you buy one of these guitars so it's a bit of a gamble. I made an offer in "best offer" and got the guitar new for $300. Frankly, I was surprised they accepted my offer, but since it was a floor model I think the store wanted to move it out of their inventory. On this particular guitar the overall work is good but the pickups are weak. They don't have the strength of an American Fender, however, that is something that can be corrected. I plan on installing Rio Grande pickups to replace the rather weak Fender pickups. A Dirty Harry in the bridge and a Muy Grande in the neck should do the trick. They'll cost me around $160 for the pair, about $50 for the labor and I should have a pretty good guitar for around $500 total once all is said and done.Read full review
I have both a 2006 MIM Strat, and now the MIM '69 Telew thinline RI, and I love them both. I have 2 other Fender Strat's, both of them are MIA 1996 Lonestar Strat's, and I have to say that I would certainly put my MIM Strat up against them anyday. Of course I did change the pup's, but not because The others were bad sounding, but because I was going for a particular sound, and I found a good deal on a set of Duncans. But the subject is the Tele; I can find nothing to complain about with this guitar, in fact I love the tone, especially of the two pick-up's mixed. It has a woderful bluesy quality to it that I absolutely can't get enough of, and the quality of the workmanship from below the border is superb. Mine came stock with a flame paint job on the body and headstock! No kidding, and I've never seen another like it! No wonder Muddy Waters chose the Tele, I'm surprised more blues players don't. If you're thinking of a Tele (or a strat) don't be afraid to buy one that say's "Made in Mexico" on the headstock.Read full review
This Fender Standard Telecaster HH is well constructed using quality materials. It's easy to play, has great resonance, stays in tune and looks beautiful if a guitar can be called that. Anyway, I feel that the Mexican Telecaster is as good as the American made model, but the price point makes it better and more affordable. Came set-up in the box and ready to play after minor tuning. No other adjustments were necessary. This guitar will provide many years of enjoyment.

sirs, I bought mine on good looks alone first. Secondly it had some features that I liked and some I did not . Fender has got to step up on quality control big time . This is the 2nd made in Mexico Tele that I have purchaced and both were flauded to the point where I did not want them. One the front pick up does not work at all. While stunning good looking that does not cut it in my book. then there is the fact there is no resale value. we pay 699. to 799. new and five minutes after sale is complete it is worth 250/ 350 .Then the frett job on one was horendis . Features that I like on telecasters are , vintage style tuners with the am . std. style bridge Vintage Noise less pups. Lastly from what I found in side a better harness is in order.It seems like I am knocking Fender That is not the case I asure you . I have Played and owned fender guiitars for well over 30 yrs and is a shame at the new crap that we are supposed to buy and not say any thing . well thank you ebay for giving me the chance to vent. Fender I have used your produts and for my money it is the vintage stuff if you can afford it is the best, Too much reissue stuff . Keep with what you do best The new am standard . And lastly try and keep your prices down . Gibson is going to price them selves right out of buisness ,Please do not follow suit. Thank you rtelejr PS also the new standard came threw the production line and the store it was purchuced with the tone pot loose and slapping,. around These are things that need to be fixedRead full review
The Fender Telecaster is excellent, it has all of the qualities I wanted such as it stays in tune, the tonal quality is excellent and at a price that was reasonable. The finish was original which is good but could have been better as there was dust on the instrument when the finish was applied. The neck of the guitar is straight and the frets are all tight and smooth. The guitar came with intone setup so I didnt have much work to do to set the instrument up.The fret were poor as they had not been dressed properly on the side of the neck. I own Les Pauls also but would not trade them for this guitar. This guitar palys itself.
I like the smooth feel of this neck, and it fits my hand well, as I don't have a big paw. I like the simplicity of the Tele; mastering 2 pickups and 1 tone control puts the responsibility for everything but jangly sweet tone back on the skill of the player, not on fancy electronics. That being said, clean or dirty, for me, this a keeper. It's the guitar I wanted 35 years ago, and worth the long wait.

I shopped around for an American Tele for months. Prices kept me out of the market. Then I turned to the Mexican Tele and got one half the price of a low end Tele. Out of the box like any guitar it needed to be setup but once that was done(60 bucks) it plays very well. Like butter. The neck feels great and the pickups are hotter than my Strat. I'm very please and glad I took a chance on it. For the money you won't go wrong.
