Fender American Performer Telecaster MN (Vintage White)
Great iconic guitar. Although the entry level USA made Telecaster. It compares well to more expensive teles. In fact I personally prefer the satin fingerboard to the gloss urethane finish on the American Professional. Typical tele tones. Great playability. Good delivery time considering it was shipped from Germany and unless I missed one the best price I could find for this particular model.

This guitar is okay, but one could expect more from a US-made guitar. Fender's "cheaper" Mexican instruments seem to have reached a comparable if not higher level of workmanship. If you also consider that these US guitars come without a hard case and with essentially the same hardware as their Mexican counterparts, why pay more for the products from Corona? My particular guitar came in partially non-original packaging and without some important accessories despite having been "thoroughly checked" by the Musicstore's team (according to the label on the box). I hope the store will sort this out for me. So beware when you get your order and make sure all is included.
