Whats on Tele?
Some nice shiny frets, that's what! But they didn't always look like this!
A student bought this Tele from an online store in Europe.
It is actually a really nice guitar, well now anyways. The body is Ash, nicely finished, the pickups sound good, the neck has a great feel, but the frets were lacking to say the least.
I should mention the price was VERY reasonable on this guitar and it now plays like a guitar that is worth a LOT more than what was paid for it.
Anyone thinking of purchasing a cheap guitar from overseas may want to keep in mind that it may arrive to you needing work, particularly on the frets and
this one could do with a decent nut fitted at some point in the future. For now though this is night and day to what it was. I really like this Tele now!

 Some of what was on the frets was lacquer |  The rest of the problem was it looked like the frets had been finished by
dragging them along the pavement. |
 Time to get this lot cleaned up and sorted. |  Clean, but still not smooth. |  End result of a number of layers of filing sanding and polishing. |
