Great guitar for the price, the Fender-Designed pickups with Alnico magnets do a great job in all 3 positions, I don't think I'll change them, the TELECASTER sound is definitely there.
The C-shaped neck profile is comfortable even if it's thicker than on my CV 50 strat of the same brand.
A string change was necessary plus a fretboard conditioning. The fretboard is very pleasant now and offers great playing comfort.
The fretting is more than correct, maybe deserves a little polishing but we'll see after a few hours of playing.
No need to adjust the neck relief.
I remove 1 star because one of the string-through ferrules doesn't hold on the guitar body (a bit of Teflon tape and it's fixed, nothing serious).
I paid 13 euros for express delivery in 24h but problem with our friends at Chronopost, received 72h after the order.
For the price you can go for it with your eyes closed! In my eyes, it's equivalent or even better than the Mexican version from the same company ;).
