mexican teles are not bad

i have one-- 350 dullas
perfect for me because i have no $$$

theyre really not very low quality, im sure the ameris are better, but theyre also more than double the price

the mexicans are a bajillion times better the the squiers
the mexicans are solid guitars

i have a 1995 mexican tele. its treated me good for almost ten years now. i would definetly recommend switching pickups though. i first tried a lace sensor in the neck and a seymor duncan hot stack in the bridge. pretty good tone, much hotter than the stock pick ups. that lasted for about 4 years, then it died the other week. its in the guitar shop right now getting a set of fender vintage noiseless pickups and all new pots and switches. american teles do sound a lot better, but for the price, a mexican is not bad at all. i guess i really do like my tele, or i wouldnt bother paying all this money to upgrade the parts.

i just got/will be getting an american strat for christmas. i like the tone of the strat much better than the tele. it all depends on the music you play.

i actually own one, and never had a problem with it... you can only get 3 different settings though... one with the bass pickup, one with the trebble, and the combination.. not much choice in sound when it comes to that guitar... but it does the job, and somewhat nicely.
