All in all, this is a GREAT guitar for the money!
1 of 1 found this helpful I bought one of these Eleca Telecasters a year ago and the quality was dreadful - it didn't even play out of the box due to poor workmanship at the factory. However, I just had to give these guys a second chance, and I am very glad I did. I ordered TWO of these guitars and they came to me in excellent condition and they both played right out of the box. Here are my observations of both guitars: the bridge pickup is bright and hot (good), but the neck pickup is muddy and flat (bad - especially if you want to tone it down with the tone control); the selector switches both came bent over at a 90 degree angle due to poor packaging to protect it; the woods are outstanding (rock maple for the necks and alder for the bodies); the fretwork is a bit sharp, but much better than many low-end Fender and Gibson necks; the machines are very nice - sturdy and responsive; the bridge plate and saddles are as good as any low end Fender or Gibson; the finish is excellent, but unfortunately, some debris and other artifacts got trapped beneath the finish which detracts from the aesthetics - too bad, because otherwise, a really nice finish... These guitars are a lot of fun to play out of the box and they feel really good in the hands - they are weighted just right, in my opinion. For a guitar under $100, you will not find a better deal. Even if you need to just straighten out the switch control, it's not that big of a deal. It's perfect for the beginner, and if you're like me, it's great for upgrading to a much nicer guitar as long as you are willing and able to improve the electronics, the finish and the neck work (fret leveling, crowning and dress, for instance). All in all, this is a GREAT deal!

RICKENBACKER 360 JETGLO: UNBELIEVABLE TONE
The Rickenbacker 360 Electric Guitar broke all the rules when it appeared in the British invation of the 1960s. Subtly updated through the years, this deluxe semi-hollowbody with its special contour around the entire body perimeter is incredibly comfortable. The unique body shape and rosewood fingerboard inlaid with triangular pearloid markers offer rich, retro visuals. The maple neck has dual truss rods while single-coil pickups deliver everything from clean tone to biting overdrive. Controls include volume and tone via a 3-way selector for each pickup. A master preset allows tone and volume settings to be accessed instantly with a toggle. Stereo output is standard with the Rickenbacker 360.

Not worth the price. Poor workmanship.
Not worth the price at all. All of the paint work was rushed and sloppy. I'm as artist so I just repainted everything myself, as it's intended as a gift and no time to fool around with the hassle of returning it. There were threads of glue all over it. They forgot to stain some of the woodwork. Basically, the clock is a cuckoo clock and it runs on batteries, but the workmanship and quality control is poor.
