NGD - Made in Japan Fender Hybrid Telecaster in Indigo

WildWayzWildWayz Frets: 90
in Guitar

So here she is! She's a Japanese Fender Telecaster Hybrid in Indigo. Serial number shows she was built in 2019.

I'm quite impressed. Out of the box, no setup required. Action is low with no buzz. Maybe the nut needs a slight file as sometimes there is a 'ping' when tuning some strings - simple fix. Will leave it a bit.

Sounds great too! Seriously impressed with the build, setup and feel. Pickups sound a bit noisy BUT we have LED lights and when the downstairs ones are on, I seem to get a buzz.

Fret ends are nice and smooth.

Negatives... Should have come with a slightly better gig bag and a set of allen keys.

    Gloss Urethane - but feels like satin.

    I've got one of the Burgundy Mist Hybrid Strats and also picked up a Sea Foam Green Hybrid Tele from the forum both with rosewood fingerboards, I agree about the supplied gigbag, bit of a waste of time with very little padding.   The fretwork is excellent on both of mine, I did find the volume pot taper not great on the Strat and changed that out too.
