Jay Turser Review: JT-LT TeleCaster

History: I play the Guitar(Electric & Acoustic; mainly Electric), have been playing for 25 years. Currently rehearsing in a band for gigs months from now. I play Rock, most rock styles, but like Country, Jazz, R & B, Hip Hop, Soul, etc..most styles, really.

Purchase: I bought this from Maggio Music, Ebay Dealer, for $135; $165 total incl. S/H.

What I Like About This Jay Turser JT-LT TeleCaster: Everything. This guitar is, IMO, comparable to a Fender Tele in the $500-$700 range. Seriously. Test/Compare them. Go to a Music Dealer who sells Jay Turser, play one, then compare to a Fender. They are nearly identical. Likes alot; have NO Complaints. This is not just a glowing review; I didn't know much about Jay Turser Guitars, other than what reviews I've read b/f. But, the reviews were correct, and I'm pleasantly suprised. I'll easily play this one onstage. Neck is comfortable, just overall a great playing guitar.

What I Do NOT Like About The Jay Turser JT-LT TeleCaster: I honestly cannot think of anything to put down about this guitar. Seriously.

Jay Turser JT-LT TeleCaster Quality Rating: Mine is a Blond/Yellow/Gold Solid Body, Alder, with Gold Hardware. The Tuning Pegs are Ping; comparable to Grovers. The Bridge offers either string thru body or hook at the end of the bridge. 3 way Selector Switch. The Stock Pickups are: Neck Humbucker, and Bridge S/C. The Neck Hum has a nice, warm tone, suprisingly for stock Chinese pups. The Bridge has a growl, biting tone. Nice. Maple Neck/Frtbd. Skunk Striping down the back of the neck. It feels/sounds/looks good to play. It came Professionally Set Up; came strobed/intonated very well. Came with D'Addarios, 9-42 gauge strings. And a Gig Bag as well, although I'll get a Hard Shell Case for this one soon. Oh yeah, a pearloid pickguard. Frets were crowned well. Overall, it's a very well made guitar.

Review Summary: These Jay Turser line of guitars, along with the Johnson Brand, give the consumer a more affordable alternative to Fenders. I'd recommend trying these Brands to see how it would suit you as a player. Most likely, you won't be disappointed, unless U "Must" have the Fender. I'll keep my cash, thank you.
