I found this guitar to be an excellent value. Workmanship is flawless. I especially appreciated the binding around the guitar body and F=hole, something you do not find on Thinline Telecasters. The guitar neck is perfect, no fret buzzing. Intonation was as it should be right out of the box. Tone was what you would expect from a telecaster, not identical to what you would find with a Fender Tele, yet close enough, a bit warmer and jazzy sounding. The guitar is great looking, and weighs less than a standard telecaster. I own a number of guitars, including Gibson Les Pauls, and Fender Stratocaster. I wanted a Telecaster and found that the Luna Deco Tele was superior to the Fender model made in Mexico. The Price difference between what you would pay for a Fender Telecaster, and the Luna Tele is significant, the Fender Tele would cost you hundreds of dollars more, and Luna looks to be a better guitar when it comes to bang for your buck.
