Failed purchase of a no-name brand Telecaster

owner: ケンさっぷ

This is an outlet item I purchased on Yahoo! I was surprised to find that the paint on the back side of the body was rattled. Is this really a professional job? Moreover, the paint was peeling off with the slightest scratch, and the gold was painted on top of the original candy apple red paint. The pegs were also not installed properly.
The string height is unbelievably high, the neck is thick, and the fretboard has almost no radius, making it very hard to play. However, I like the sound of the guitar.
So I put a 1mm spacer on the body-neck joint to make the neck side higher, replaced the bridge with a Joe Barden Telecas bridge, and adjusted the string height with a bridge frame to make it lower. The pots are made in Japan.
The pots are made in Japan, and the soldering is relatively easy.

sound features

The pickups are UK ARTEC, both bridge and neck, humbuckers with 4 cores, high resistance and high output, but the sound is thin. The ARTEC pickups can be bought for about 2000 Japanese yen. No noise at all, and although this guitar is very hard to play, it sounds great live. It is very hard to play, but it sounds great live.
