Are Mexican Made (or MIM) Telecasters any GOOD??? What a silly question! I mean, it has the Fender name on it so it MUST be good right??? MAYBE. And definitely not always! In this video we try to figure that out!

LET ME know YOUR experiences with Mexican Made Telecasters (OR ANY FENDER) BELOW!!

[@joeisnothome]

i have just had a 07 Mexican tele handed down to me from one of my dad's friends and it's the best guitar I've ever played, I don't know why guitar players are so snobby about where fenders are made, they are still excellent quality

[@voodoochild1975az]

Yes. Very good actually. Next question.

I just ordered a Fender Player Plus from 2022. Modern 12" radius, rounded edges, modern Bridge, noiseless pickups, locking tuners, belly cut. Sounds and plays awesome.

The made in Mexico tele may not be perfect, but it is good enough and not bad at all. The American tele may have just a tiny little bit of better quality. That tiny little difference is just not enough for the difference in price. Personally, I'd go with the Mexican tele over the American one. I don't see how it's worth it to pay a ton extra for a tiny little difference. The choice for me at the end of the day is the made in Mexico tele.

I got a MiM tele about 9 months ago. Surf pearl finish is beautiful. Fret edges needed a little touch up. $20 fret tools and an hour of my time fixed that. Tone knob was right up against the plate. That was a 30 second fix with a screwdriver. Other than that it was great right out of the box. I'm not a professional musician and I enjoyed doing a little work, so I'm glad I didn't spend $1800 on an American made. They're wonderful, but even with the fret tools, the MiM was basically a third of the price

Just bought a left handed 2015' mim telecaster in cherry red. It was an absolute steal. I'll end up spending more on the new Seymour Duncan pickups than I paid for the guitar.

The difference from a us model is 50 miles

The first guitar I bought myself was a circa-2002 MIM Tele... it's still my favorite guitar. I think I paid $400 at the time, and I never regretted the purchase... it has served me well over the past 20 years or so. For me, it's just so comfortable to play and it sounds great! I ended up upgrading the pickups and tuners, and that's really all I had to do to make it really sing. And the thing aboutTelecasters... so versatile! People think it's for country twang only, they are wrong! I can play anything with it.

I have had 2 Teles, one USa, One Mex. I just find the Tele very boring, dull. There both gone!

[@Chicken853]

I brought a Mexican tele it was surf pearl and I got it at guitar center after saving up for 5 months to get it. I had no problems it sounded great.

[@electron7373]

Andy Summers from the Police used to put his Tele through a Marshal Amp, but with lots of delay and Chorus - sweet combo!

[@kurtfroberg3608]

I have a 1999 MIM Nashville Deluxe Tele. Absolutely fantastic guitar! Plays like a dream, and I do like the TexMex pickups. Great tonal diversity with that Strat pup in the middle.

[@digiwalsh2784]

Grabbed a 98 MIM Stratocaster Deluxe last year for $80.00. Haven't put it down since, the neck has that played in feeling and the stock noiseless pickups are buttery.

[@MorbidManoeuvres]

wowzers, great vid. is this a Telecaster Player series with stock pickups ? thanks

[@mattyjmusic4210]

I'm gonna go ahead and agree. I may take it even further though. The MIM Tele is the best guitar any brand makes overseas for the price. The PRS SE's are also good but more costly. Better than epiphone, squire, other MIC models.

[@PapenDaujeu]

I get a 2018 Telecaster as a present and I love it.

[@folderol8487]

I've got a '22 MIM Tele. Absolutely love it and it's been pretty much flawless. It's the guitar I can't put down.

[@tabodee]

Great video! Just curious were you recording straight from the interface and into the DAW? If so what plugins were you using to make this clip? It sounded a little familiar… I use a UAD Apollo, and sometimes use the Fender Tweed plugin. This clip reminds me of the vibe. 👍

Oh man that Baja is awesome! ❤❤❤❤
