Fazley FTL218NT Electric Guitar (Natural)
General
If you're looking for an affordable TE model guitar, Fazley has multiple versions to offer. This is the FTL218NT, which has a gorgeous look thanks to the remarkable ash top. The FTL200 has a lot in common with its American role model, but at a much more affordable price.
Construction
The FTL218NT has a basswood body that gives it a well-balanced sound with some clear trebles added in by the ash top. It also has a brown blackwood fretboard and a maple neck to contrast that clear sound, as brown blackwood offers pleasant warm overtones. The result of all this, is a well-balanced core sound with clear mids, bright trebles and powerful bass.
Hardware and Electronics
For the FTL218NT, Fazley chose a vintage-style top-loader bridge with three saddles. To keep that style going, it's also fitted with two bright-sounding single-coil pickups and a tone control that’s as simple as it is effective!

Just enjoy and have fun - I bet anyone a million quid that Slash or any good guitarist can make this sound incredible.
The worst thing about this guitar is probably the tuners and nut, otherwise a bit of time on setup and intonation is definitely needed, for me the pickups almost don't matter at amateur level as effects in general mask the tone anyway and this is an absolute steal IMO.
In a way this is probably not good for a beginner due to the setup that is needed and most beginners don't even know how to adjust the truss rod, or bridge for intonation, and probably a better guitar for a level up from beginner who just wants a Tele at a good price understanding guitar setup and possible mods.
