History:
Purchase: As a now regular customer, I purchased this guitar from Express Music, Shirley Solihull for £560 (rrp £580). I bought this having been considering an upgrade from my Squier Strat. I was thinking along the lines of Epiphone SG's and LP's and may be something like a Fender Standard Mexican Telecaster at the limit. However I half heartedly picked up the Nashville and it instantly felt right in my hands- and so I asked "How long do you keep deposits for!"
What I Like About This Unit: Its Great full stop. Its a telecaster which is a brilliant guitar in general. Its attractive, brown sunburst on turtle shell pick guard. It sounds amazing, texas pick uos with the addition of a texas Strat pick up in the middle position and is very adjustable. It has a whole customised vibe to it, the strat pick up, old style kit, turtle shell scratch plate, chunky neck and frets etc. This is certainly a unique guitar that looks great, sounds great and is great. It isnt even as heavy as your average Telecaster.
What I Do NOT Like About The Fender Nashville Telecaster: Only one thing- That would be the bridge. Its a pressed vintage unit with the words fender pressed onto the plate. below the pick up its a rough pressed finish whilst above its polished. This has no other effect than aesthetics although its isnt particularly nice. This I imagine is to restore a vintage appeal although could be mis-construed as being cheap but its not really that bad. It'd also be nice to see the Feb=nder name on the neck join plate.
Nashville Telecaster Quality: Brilliant. Not a single problem as yet. Tiny marks are a result of the shop, not production, nothing to moan about.
Summary: Buy one if you like Telecasters but find some of their necks a little thin. Buy one if you like plenty of versatility in your sound. Buy one if you like attractive guitars that work well. Buy one if you like a unique and differnt design. Buy one if you like the following-
country, blues, jazz, classic rock, heavy rock, heavy metal, grunge, pop-rock, punk, alternative- in fact anything.
