I’ve had this guitar for about 2 months, play it almost every day. Fit & finish is very good, feels great, plays well. I had the real thing, a modified 52 tele. Sold it to my long term regret. I just didn’t know what I had I guess. This tribute model to my hands and recollection is very very close. The only major exception to me is the weight. The HB is very heavy, and takes a while to get used to. But Something nice is going on, cause I can feel the neck vibrating, when playing in the cash register. So for the money I have no regrets.
