There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I was also surprised at how well my was set-up right out of the box. I let it acclimate to room temperature, plugged it in and gave it a spin. Of course it needed tuning, but to my surprise it was not very far out of tune. I visually checked the neck and it looked straight and the Truss Rod needed no adjusting as the very slight concave that was already dialed in was perfect for me. The action was low, just as i like it, and with no fret buzzing, huurah! I also checked for dead frets and didn't find any. The intonation as set up was slightly off, but pretty darn good for out of the box! I'll adjust that later. So I am thinking someone took their time to set this guitar up nicely before it left the factory, and it held together pretty good on the long trip to finally get to me.
Now, the best part was plugging it in and finally playing it! Those Seymour Duncan Humbuckers lived up to their reputation and sounded GREAT! I l already love playing this guitar! It sounds good sand feels good in my hands.
I will note that I did find one thing I would like to change. The saddle adjustment screws stick up a little bit too far for my liking and feel a little sharp on the palm. Will look for some shorter ones.
Overall, I am very pleased with this guitar thus far and think it was a good deal for the money.
That coil split switch is the one thing I would change. Would be really nice to have a separate switch for each pickup.
So I took a chance on the Tele FMT HH, and I'm very happy I did: as many have said, it's a guitar that can cover a lot of terrain, whether it's clean single-coil sparkle, bluesy grit, or hard rock. (I'd stop short of modern metal -- a Duncan Pearly Gates isn't going to get you there -- but you could always drop in a Black Winter :-D) Ergonomics are just the way I like: flattish radius, reasonably thin neck, and a very lightweight instrument.
Fit and finish on this one were pretty good, which is what I'd expect from an Indonesian-made Fender. The flame maple is not bad at all for the price point, the cream binding is a nicely upmarket touch. A few tiny finish irregularities, etc. Hardware is decent -- the tuners are smooth and affirmative, I didn't notice any backlash or slop. Electronics seem fine. I'm not in love with the Pearly Gates -- top end seems a bit harsh -- and am tempted to drop in a Duncan Pegasus, but that's just personal taste.
And now, the bad news: the setup was not up to par for what I've come to expect from an Asian factory guitar at this price point. There was way too much relief in the neck, the action was comically high, the low E string nut slot was cut too shallow, and the frets, while not rough, had visible vertical sandpaper grit marks from the final pass of the sanding beam they'd received -- I'd guess somewhere in the 600-800 grit region. And, like I said, they felt reasonably smooth -- it's not like they were scraping horribly against the strings when you'd bend 'em. But they definitely felt a bit draggy or sticky on bends.
So, I took about a mm of relief out of the neck, lowered the saddles nearly two turns, finished the fret polishing with 1000 grit, 1500 grit, 3000 grit, and then a couple grades of 3M Zona polishing paper. If you've never played a guitar that's had frets polished to this extent, and you do much string bending or finger vibrato -- it's totally worth the time and effort. Restrung with Elixirs, checked the intonation (which was okay) and had a really superb guitar.
Now it plays like a dream. Even with the setup issues, this guitar is a tremendous value at around a thousand US dollars. Just be prepared to drop another hundred or so at your local tech if you aren't doing the setup yourself. (Mind you, I would suggest this for ANY guitar under two grand. It is absolutely astonishing what a good setup can do -- and how easily a poor setup can make a great guitar feel like a disaster.)

Hardware: Pickup choice works very well in this guitar. The hardware looks and feels good quality. For the pots, one had less stiff travel than the other, though neither were 'loose'. No scratchiness in pots, either in standard or coop split.
Value: Guitar was decently packaged and survived the transit. At this price it should include a gig bag like the MIM guitars. Not much else to complain about.

Everything said on web site is true, the only thing I can see, is that the gauge of strings should be up to the player preferences...Guitar is easy to tune and will remain like all full bodied guitars,
Thanks to Fender and Amazon for this opportunity,
