[@Halfaloaf599]

I have wanted something like this forever. Thank you!

[@karlEgghead]

Just received my les caster same configure as yours, tho mine has issues, defo not a 60s neck as its chunky, I wouldn't have bought one if I had known it was gonna be chunky 50s style 0k the frets well I checked and I found some white material under a fret?? I pulled it out lol the bass side of the fretboard has a really low action after I tweaked it but the treble choked (I'll do a fret rocker test) there are several paint flaws unfortunately one is right in the center of the neck it's like a smudge and I feel it when playing, there are a few others giving me the impression mine was rushed out the door. The sound from the pickups isn't as bad as I have been led to believe it's bright and crunchy basically a paf tone, the tuners are ok a few wobbly ones but I'll restring with my usual EB slinky 10s. The intonation across the strings is sharp and I found the bridge was on backwards I looked at the saddles and the high E was in a bigger notch and the low was in the 10 notch 😅 I also had a request to pay £20 for "import duties" so overall I love the finish of the paint and the overall look of the guitar, disappointed in the paint finish smudges the action on the high e side and the chunky neck profile. Oh n no reply to my email voicing my concerns. Oh well

Currently own 2 of Jason’s guitars one of which is the LesCaster in sunburst. Solid quality particularly for the money!!!

[@shanewalton8888]

Congrats on the new Tele

[@sams.4388]

I have a tobacco burst color of a Jia LesCaster. It is amazing quality for the money. Very high quality build. My only gripe is that the neck feels a bit too chunky for my taste. But if that is your thing, then you will absolutely love this guitar.

[@kevintrick4541]

back in 2006 I had a squire master series tele that was very similar.

[@JohnPaulStone-wd2gz]

Looks like a a fairly well made bit of kit, The actual design though is genius, and definitely a smart move. The FMT Tele's should have had a tune o matic bridge/tail set up like that.

I am waiting for your review. I have one of the first batch flame top. Looking good, with a full maple cap but many issues to fix and a thick neck.

[@basiltiffani8850]

Upper fret access look very limit due to the heel joint. About how far down the neck can you comfortably play? Looks a great guitar. Will be looking into getting one.

[@DaveBarlowGuitar]

Upper access is pretty bad on this one, however I am told they have corrected this issue.

[@plantagenant]

I saw one of those" Lescaster's "on their web site, sunburst. Tempted.

[@davidcaro8217]

They could've named it a Telepaul, but that don't sound as cool 😊

[@johnnorth9355]

Sounds perfectly Les Paul - ish in a Telecaster kind of way. ( I don't like LP's but love Teles !).

[@asmcelhinney]

That's a handsome beast

[@tcollacott]

Currently waiting on a Explorer custom in silverburst

tbf I got a chibson put iron gear pickups in, after u rated iron gear!and also gold topped it. But it is worth keeping eye on used market, some better deals recently got a vintage v100 wine red for a 100er

[@fortyyearfitness]

They should put a single coil in the center

[@davidmoss7245]

Great looking hybrid, better to be more original than direct copy (like the Chibsons) if I had the money I’d look into one now, as it’s got the lot, no real reason to spend cash on it upgrading anything 👍🎸🎸🎸

[@daver2156]

What's the price ?

Well cool🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@sometimesdimneverthin]

I like it. A bit Reverend who seem to mash Gibson & Fenders without hassle.

[@bryantcrawford5664]

oh yeah i was thinking about The China guitar sceptic ,and got down in the dumps.i miss his dry humor.a lot has changed since he got sick and passed.anyway cheers

[@Kyush4]

For me this captures the worst of the Gibson "qualities" but it's a funny concept, I like the Fender Custom Black Moon Telecaster HH better since it retains the straight neck, the bolt on neck and the Fender scale but gains the 4 knob/pickup switch LP style. Have fun with it!

[@davidcaro8217]

TG they didn't name it Telepaul 😊

[@ampedwales]

They copied my guitar, Dave. I worked with Kip Elder at Starr guitars in Orlando to create a Telepaul, which he built me in 2014. I've been lawsuited 😅

[@The300zxsupra]

Still sound's like a Gibson's

[@conniechamberlain6586]

CHENDER

[@Craig52-zq1bt]

Four controls and the pickup selector is placed away from your hand. Joke guitar. My various Telecasters kick butt, single coils or humbuckers with both controls and switch right at my hand and a string-thru-body SOLID bridge, not a 1920s acoustic type guitar bridge and tailpiece Joke guitar.
