Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Recently I purchased one of these after being up in the air over the Fender Blacktop model Telecaster and the '72 Deluxe. While the Blacktop seemed like the more consumer friendly purchase, and a good buy, I ultimately picked this guitar for its good looks and build quality. The maple neck on the '72 is glossy and unlike the rosewood fretboards I have played in the past. The tuners are ill-reputed, but I have not had problems with the guitar falling out of tune. Ultimately, however, people buy this guitar for the Fender Wide Range Humbucker pickups, and they sound versatile and nice. The Blacktop humbuckers have been described as 'hotter' and more forward-seeming. This seems true to me, while the '72 may have a warmer tonal quality. The only problem I have been having is the slightly 'dark' sound of the Wide Range pickups being too thick. Various people report upgrading the pots in the '72 to 500k in the volume to give more presence. This is an inexpensive repair which I have not made yet but plan to. I think, though, in the right rig, with a decent amp, this guitar is a solid buy, and a lot of fun to play.
