  This is my first Tele and unless I spent 2x as much I don't think I could have gotten a better tele. The first time I played it, I couldn't believe the feel and sound comming from this guitar. From warm to biting. The neck is very smooth and fast, a thin U shaped wonder. The guitar arrived well packed and nicely set up. The only complaint I have is after three times playing it the chrome plating on the control plate started to curl off, I called GC and they sent me a new control plate within a few days. The guitar is about 8-8.5 lbs. It looks great, plays fast and Vintage Noiseless PU are hot. I may replace them someday with Fralins but they are very good for now. The pick ups take pedals very well. I play through a Hot Rod Deluxe or Carr Rambler and this tele sounds great out of either one. I will never sell this guitar, that should say it all. Buy this Tele you won't be dissapointed.

• Ash FSR Telecaster

  What a wonderful instrument! First guitar I've bought in 32 years & a very good choice. Plays like a dream & well-made,as anyone would expect from Fender. I recommend this particular issue to any serious player. Order soon as it's a limited run. One bit of advise,though-be sure to do a full set-up. Specs are on Fender.com under tech support. If you're not confident, have it done by a reputable tech. It is crucial on any quality instrument.

• Wonderful sound

  
  As reviewed by Tyronne on 12/19/2009

  My first Telecaster. Had been looking at them for a while but was looking for this color and it seemed that only paying much much more would I be able to afford one. Happened to see the add for this on the web page and just fell in love with the looks and the price! Ordered one up and a week later tried it out. Boy not only does it look stunning it sounds it too! Wonderful 'twang' sound from the pups even though I was a little nervous based on other reviews that the "noiseless" pups tended to sound sterile. I did not hear that at all. Very happy with the sound and haven't put the thing down in over a week! I'd say if you can't afford the '52 reissue or Artist series and want something better than the Standard and like the looks of this butterscotch blonde, get this while it's around. It's a FSR model so it won't be around for long. With a little haggling you can get the price down too.
