This FMT Telecaster is in excellent cosmetic condition and is set up in fantastic playing order. The neck profile is wide and flat and feels superb and fast in hand. The jumbo frets are in good shape with some signs of play wear but with plenty of life left in them and make this guitar extremely fun to play. The guitar shows some signs of play wear including a few scratches here and there and some tarnishing on the hardware, but nothing that's a dealbreaker. The humbucking pickups sound great and are on the hotter side. They also sound great when split into single coil with the coil tap. Having this capability really gives you an array of different tones - everything from classic Telecaster sounds to Les Paul territory. To me, this Tele is like a mix between a Les Paul and a Telecaster with the set neck, mahogany neck and body, maple top, and humbucking pickups. Fender is no longer producing this model and these really are great workhorse guitars. If you're looking for a great sounding and playing guitar that won't break your back or the bank, this may be the guitar for you.
