I purchased this guitar in Butterscotch Blonde just about two months ago, and I have to say that it was worth every penny! As someone just trying to learn guitar, I could not justify spending upwards of $1,000 right off the bat to get into the hobby, so I started looking for affordable options. Then I found this gem, and I'm so glad that I did!I haven't found anything to negative to complain about in terms of playability, and I pick this thing up for at least one hour every single day. Granted, I've never held a $1,000+ axe before, but from my experience this is an excellent product. I chose the Telecaster specifically because after doing a ton of research I hearing about them being extremely versatile and capable of any genre that you'd want to play. Considering that I had to be careful with my budget, this was the clear choice (although I also was considering a Stratocaster). The tones that I can get out of this guitar just from adjusting the volume and tone knobs are phenomenal! Volume all the way up with tone rolled back to about 70% is my favorite thus far!The only negative that I have about the purchase (and the reason I've rated it as 4 stars instead of 5) is that I ordered it in Butterscotch Blonde, and when looking at the pictures I was expecting a bright yellow guitar to arrive. What I received was actually a brownish mustard color (see pictures attached). At first I was a bit disappointed, but after awhile it grew on me. I went ahead and ordered two straps, one brown and one purple. I can throw the purple one on to get a PB&J kind of look or use what I call the "chocolate" brown strap to play on the butterscotch theme. In either case, my guitar looks, feels, and sounds sweet! Thus I've named her, "Sugar". No matter what color you choose, I am certain that this is an excellent choice to either get you started with guitar or even to add to your collection if you've been playing for awhile and just have the urge to expand!
