Best Bargain Telecaster / SLICK SL51

Without a doubt the best T style guitar I have played for under $300...

Great demo, Don. I have 2 of their strats that I really enjoy. Was on the fence about the SL51 until this video. Now I have one on the way, same color config as the one you’re playing.

Hey Doug.. Thanks for watching. I don't think you can go wrong with any of the Slick guitars. I might just keep all the ones I'm reviewing lol. The SL56 is very cool. I will be working on that review in a couple days. Do you get notifications when I post a new review? Thanks again

Nice play through on this SLICK Telecaster. It sure is nice to find something so great for so cheap a price. My Tele is a few years old, Sunburst with a black guard (changed it to a tortoise guard), but it has all vintage appointments. The triple brass saddles really make it happen. I use the ash tray cover, as Joe B explains it does add a nice touch to the tone. Plus wedging the slider switch between clicks is possible. I paid 1500 for this guitar from Sweetwater with no case. They were gracious enough to include a nice Fender gig bag with a metal guitar pick zipper tab. The 2-tone sunburst is really nice and reflects its early predecessors. This guitar is an OKAY player. I really don't think it was worth the price.

Hi, and thanks for watching. There's so many more choices now than there was 20 years ago. So many different brands to choose from. Some are quite nice for not lot of money and some aren't worth buying at any price.

Do you think the Quality Control for Slick is better than for Xaviere?

[@Bluesgtar]

I I will get my hands on an Xaviere Pro840 Tele and compare it to the Slick SL51. The Xaviere lists for $219 and the Slick SL51 is $249. I'm pretty sure the Slick will win that contest..That's my guess anyway. I'll message you when I get the Xaviere and stand by for that review... Thanks for your comments.

Sounds great Don. Unfortunately not easily available in south east asia (shipping $USD 370). If it’s possible, I’d like to see a review of Jet guitars tele. More widely available. Thanks

[@Bluesgtar]

Hello! Thanks for watching.. I was able to find a Jet JT-300 Tele from a dealer here in the US. It's probably the entry level model but the specs look pretty good. I can get it shipped for free so I might go ahead and grab it for a review. Here's the link to the page. Is that one you would be interested in seeing? kaironguitars.com/products/electric-guitar-jet-guitars-jt300-bts-telecaster-butterscotch-free-setup

[@scottmilne8607]

Yes, that might be a very good instrument with Toneriders
