THIS TELE HAS EVERY CONCEIVABLE FANCY FEATURE AT A SUPER BARGAIN PRICE. IF YOU WATCH TO THE END YOU'LL SEE THAT I FINALLY FOUND A FLAW, BUT FOR AROUND $300 YOU GET A ROASTED MAPLE NECK, IMPECCABLE STAINLESS STEEL FRETS, A COMPOUND NECK RADIUS, STAGGERED LOCKING TUNERS AND A BONE NUT. MINE CAME PERFECTLY SET UP, BUT YMMV. I COMPARE THE TONE TO A SIRE TELE AND A FENDER TELE WITH TWISTED TELE PICKUPS.

    Wow, you make that guitar sing! I’m a metal headed shred guy, so I love to hear country/ Hendrix, 70’s style playing & you nailed it. Good review, thanx
  • @ricklynn6176
    OK I’ll be the one to say it..this is like watching Jeff Goldblum, Guitar infomercial😂 and if you close your eyes, you sound just like him. Lol Anyways, great review very detailed and informative.

    Man, that is a great review, and I sure appreciate it. The value in these is almost insane lol. In my experience, one always needs a string tree. I just had a very expensive guitar made, and the builder thought a string tree may be unnecessary because we had Hipshot staggered tuners. Nope… Back to the string tree, as the E, B and G would pop out of the nut on country style bending. I like the 3 string tree from Nashville Bridge a lot.

    This sounds GREAT! Fender Shmender... Put that in the hands of any of the greats and let them play their hits you can't distinguish the 60s Tele they played from this Tele, especially with today's amps with the EQs and other built in effects .
  • @ScootersGroove0801
    You can hit one note and get a tone from a rusty fence post i imagine. Nice playing and great review. You can hear you love for tele's. i want one.

    I’ve been hearing really amazing things about this guitar, too. I’ve seen at least one other reviewer on YouTube say he had to install a string tree on his. This seems like a pretty cheap and easy thing to fix, given all the many virtues of this guitar though! One question: What is the neck shape like? I have seen one person remark that the neck was too thin for him.
  • @davidgerlach1132
    The M sounds fuller more dynamic than the others. Oh, and at a "real price."
  • @danwhite7678
    Great review. What pickups would you consider to swap out if you decide to?
  • @rocinblues
    BINGO, I bought the Virgo model from MUSI over a year ago when they first came out, and had the same issue. I put two Ibanez strings trees in (stainless steel) and bingo the strings behaved as they should. These are the best (cheap) guitars on the market today (I've played for over 50 yrs and have played them all). My only knock is that if you have XL hands and have issues with playing thin pattern necks, take a HARD pass on this guitar. The pickups, frets, and tuners are outstanding in the model I purchased.
  • @user77434
    Nice review! Which squier or fender tier would you compare this guitar to?
  • @mcmotohistory8770
    I bought this guitar The quality of construction was wonderful The action was nice it had all the features it promised but I got rid of it because it just didn't sound good other than that it was great
  • @wiseowl2335
    M Musi wasn't around when the great tunes were made but if it was, I'm sure it would have been used
  • @guitorb
    Sounds like some microphonic noise going on with those pickups.
  • @vaughan7835
    8 seconds in. Turn your phone / camera 90 degrees. Not watching a sliver of a screen. Pass.
  • @Sevenxsnroses
    So, do you prefer this or the sire? Lastly, which one is heavier? Thank you I enjoyed your video
