Comments about Fender Telecaster Richie Kotzen Solid Body Electric Guitar:
I was a little worried about the gold trim on this guitar,but it is very well done.It looks and feels like a top notch instrument,and plays like a dream.The C shaped neck was a little different for me but I soon settled into it.
Comments about Fender Telecaster Richie Kotzen Solid Body Electric Guitar:
Gold hardware immediately started to tarnish. Don't buy it. Fender says it isn't manufacture defect. What?? I bought it less than 3 months ago. It is kept in in my basement of a million dollar home with climate control and other guitars with gold hardware and acoustic guitars such as martins. This is the only piece of equipment with a problem. I didn't buy pro coverage.....been a fan of fender for over 30 years and didn't think it was necessary. Now guitar center or Fender wont honor it. Do yourself a favor, buy an American instead!! Fender rep told me they cant even get these replacement parts since made in japan!!

Comments about Fender Telecaster Richie Kotzen Solid Body Electric Guitar:
This guitar is so comfortable in your hands. The LARGE "C" shaped is great, hand fits nicely around it and you can really dig into notes/bends. DiMarzio pup's are a great touch and the parallel/series function is great for boosting you for leads. Very nice to look at as well.

Comments about Fender Telecaster Richie Kotzen Solid Body Electric Guitar:
I just played this guitar at my Guitar Center here in Pittsburgh and all I can say is Wow. It's absolutely beautiful with the gold bridge and tuners. The Dimarzio pickups sound amazing, on the clean channel (Marshall DSL40c), in treble position it is bright and responsive, neck and bridge had the fullest tone clear and lush and the neck is exactly like a tele should be. Another thing I love about this guitar is there aren't any useless features, like push/pull pots but that's how I prefer it. One thing I'm not a fan of though is the "C" shaped neck which is pretty much standard on tele's although is still super playable. I love it.
