Anderson (a fictional dude by the way) and Hohner original versions. The only real bummer is that it has a tortoise 3-play pickguard, like Hohners 'The Prinz' rather than the H.S. Shipping to the USA is $40 flat, so it ends up being around $225. Harley Benton TE-80 NT Deluxe is sold exclusively by Thomann, so they should be easy to find. I started googling around and found a thread on the Telecaster forum (), talking about this German music store that makes them as part of their line of house brand guitars. I was looking at around $500 to build the partscaster that I wanted. I was recently planning on building a telecaster out of warmoth parts, and learned that it adds up quickly. I'll update of course, better than no information. I dreamed of these teles (rosewood and prinz) rare, and I jumped at the chance, you can do so given the quality of execution / assembly.īoth have taxed me not even 300 roros it's just Christmas in April! She is on a hit, I probably will change the pickups for warmer / consistent but that's just my usual habit. The two together is funky of course, but more acid than usual and downright a feast for the rhythmic Kiss f (no, not Gene Simmons and co!) This is normal for strat pickups actually. The acute against micro is less incisive than typical tele, and lacks a bit of consistency. The tone is less successful than that of rosewood but is more or less usable (early in the race you get a fixed-wah kind of fun). The sound is rather empty 'inside' and hot / severe, and weaker than her sister.Ĭonnected (Ibanez tvr5) this is not the usual plan Tele.įinished smooth neck pickup here is sharper and louder, more accurate too.

If Ben is a Tele so not so bad ergonomics level casually. Unlike her sister rosewood prinz weighs the dead ass, it looks like a les paul it surprises. The body is beautiful, it is a double binding therefore quite uncomfortable compared to a vintage type.Įverything is very well done (it is very far from F. 2 wilkinson pickups (alnico from Toto) strat without buzz in position 2. Always better than nothing.Ħ Fixed bridge bridges such strat, strings through the body. The frets are fairly thin, 21, and well laid / finished so no extra work. She has just arrived with his sister rosewood.Ĭhannel maple fingerboard, satin varnish, C well rounded in the leg, very similar to my harley Jazzmaster.
