Captain America Tele - PART 1 - INITIAL INSPECTION

[@j-man9457]

Hey Mike! Cool find man! Out of all the guitars you've demoed right out of the box, this one sounds great! Even the intonation sounds like it's pretty good! Super nice features. Can't wait to see what's inside that thing! Merry Christmas!

I got that same guitar with 2 single coils!!! It's a very solid guitar. I got it about 6 or 8 months ago. I paid 125$ on eBay. I made an offer and they accepted it. It's all mahogany, neck and body. Other than some rough fret edges it's perfect. Hope you like it as much I I like mine.

Oh captain, my captain. Another cool journey. Thanks for sharing, Mike. I loved the comments "I don't know what happened" and of course "the Ted riff" (smile). Those string guides are what came on the Squire Classic Vibe guitars I have. Not sure what they are called other than "string retainers" Fender and Musiclily sell them. I am not a fan of the color scheme, but the features look good (so far) for a $200 ride. Definitely looks you got some good bones & more. I have my popcorn popping for the next one. Rock on!

Gretat! NowI have that silly Capitane d'Amerique song from the french cartoon when I was kid running through my head! Yuk! This tele reminds of that Harley Benton TE40- it's the bridge and ferrules. I hope these filtertronish pickups are good. I hope this one is solid!

Happy New Year to you too

It looks nice. Reminiscent of Buck Owens guitar. I looked on temu and couldn't find it. You must have gotten the last one.

@chadwickerman Bucks was sparkly. It depends where you are, I think. I saw them on temu just yesterday here. I'll list links to see if you can get them . www.temu.com/ca/-maple-neck--electric-guitar--glossy-finished-g-601099716387125.html?_oak_mp_inf=ELXCx%2Fim1ogBGiA3ZDBhN2E3MzlkYWQ0NGRkOTZhYWVmOTEwOGE5MTFmZSD09Z%2BzwDI%3D&top_gallery_url=https%3A%2F%2Fimg.kwcdn.com%2Fproduct%2Ffancy%2Fb449f8fa-2e88-4e9a-8f45-b17e88e7c05c.jpg&spec_gallery_id=2617745741&refer_page_sn=10009&refer_source=0&freesia_scene=2&_oak_freesia_scene=2&_oak_rec_ext_1=MjUyNjg&_oak_gallery_order=466830719%2C1767826058%2C975982336%2C2087346454%2C1966858005&search_key=Electric%20guitar&refer_page_el_sn=200049&_x_chnl_src=top_icon&_x_channel_scene=spike&_x_channel_src=1&_x_sessn_id=129ipgdyty&refer_page_name=search_result&refer_page_id=10009_1735274266849_qihh09fumw

@@2bikemikesguitartopics145 yeah Buck's was sparkly. A real eye catcher. I must be a location thing maybe. It's showing as discontinued for me on the link.

[@cbbiny]

My finger used to do that. Just hit it. To the point that what used to be our living room now more closely resembles a Guitar Center showroom. Go figure.

[@ElvisPretzel-rv3bg]

That is a super cool and a beautiful looking telecaster! you got this on Temu wow i been getting there emails to shop there there prices are to cheap and i get second thoughts from ordering so i go to AliExpress one day I'm going to try Temu out you definitely cant beat there prices.. with high saddle screws and high string height dont we have to shim our neck then? Great guitar review as always 2bikemike! the best videos nothing but truth told love that look on that baby! Lol"

[@2bikemikesguitartopics145]

I've been surprised by temu. Good prices and stuff is the same as AliExpress. Guitars seem to be in-country, which comes in 3 days. Other stuff ships from China like Ali, except shipping is done by courier and comes in 1.5-2weeks free. Ali is not always free, and comes Post in 4-5 weeks. Sometimes depending on the seller, 3 weeks. I have now bought 3 guitars on temu and a lot of other stuff. Guitar parts are very affordable.

[@ElvisPretzel-rv3bg]

@2bikemikesguitartopics145 I will try them out soon then they beat AliExpress in price a lot of times they have a unfinished stratocaster hard tail body made of African mahogany for 64 bucks I'll get one soon after my Charley guitar is done. Thanks 2bikemike!! I'm shooting a video for tomorrow I have a neck pocket issue your neck pocket sanding and homemade tool method is the number one fix so your method is getting a shout out in my sit down talk video.. Thanks again for Temu's credibility Awesome!
