[quote="acoustica1"]What do you think about fenders made in Mexico? I owned a very serious "Mex-tele" .[/quote]
This is a real conundrum for me;
I own several American Fenders and about the same number of Mex equivalents. Admittedly several of these I haven't played very much at all.
In light of this question, I got all my USA and Mex telecasters in one room and put on a blindfold. My wife then randomly selected instruments and handed them to me and I played the same piece.
Without question, my Fender 50's reissue Esquire came out on top - this is something I only purchased a while ago, mint, secondhand for £280. It has the feel of a real top quality Fender, and although only one single coil, it is capable of producing that shiver up the spine. It is beautifully weighted and balanced and the neck, although something of a handful (full 'C' contour), is sublime. |
