About this deal
This deal is expired. Here are some options that might interest you:
This thing is a beauty! The specs got me here for this kind of money and the neck with those stainless steel frets, is a real rarity at this price point. The tuners are locking and the nut is a Graph Tech TUSQ XL.
The tremolo here may put this out for beginners though, as this type aren't really the easiest to deal with when it comes to string changes and general set up, but at the same time... not as hard to deal with in the beginning as a Floyd Rose style set up.
Saying that, it's also good to learn how to set up something like this, if you're confident enough to do so. For the money, it may be worth blocking the trem if it's putting you off so that there is no pull up on it.
For more seasoned players, you'll probably know your onions anyway. It looks like a very nice modding platform, given it's starting specs.

For £255, mad
The pickups won't be great but with modern processing that doesn't matter if playing at home. Pickup emulation (Blue Cat Re-Guitar) does the job. Neural Amp Modeller does the rest.
Only thing I'd be doing with this guitar is taking it to a decent luthier pay £70 or so and get it fully setup, and strings replaced. Then you have a really well setup guitar that you don't need to do anything else with.
It's absolutely gorgeous. The photo doesn't do it justice. The back and side of the body is brown and it makes a lovely two tone effect on the bevel under the high frets. Lovely.
BUT! When it arrived I sort of hated it. The neck was bowed, the frets felt like playing on train tracks. But I adjusted the truss rod (for the first time ever!) and filed the frets a little. But I wasn't feeling it for a few weeks.
After that though I picked it up again and now it's my favourite guitar. You kind of need to play it in I guess. It's great now. I like it a lot more than the actual Tele I owned in the 90s.
Occasionally some new guitars with blemishes in the finish do slip past QC and end up in peoples hands when it should have really been sold as B-Stock and can be a bit of faff to send it back. (edited)
That said it *really* should have been gold hardware, I'd have bought it by now if so.
Pickups would probably be switched out and possibly a bridge upgrade down the line, if it were me buying. That said... I'd only do it if I wasn't overly keen on the bridge. I'd imagine it's pretty decent though, especially for the cash.
I'm always modding something, although I haven't dared attack the Jem Jr (That's nearly done) by adding a Sustainiac. (Waiting for a miss price on a guitar that comes with one... it may take a lifetime, haha)
Top of the league bang for buck I don’t feel the need to spend any more where usually it’s any excuse to get the best most expensive thing. but I’m just a hobbyist
What a fantastic guitar for the money. This is sat next to my Gibson Les Paul Studio and I would definitely have no qualms about taking the HB out for a gig instead.
