Smooth and creamy, very good looking color.

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

Glad you like it!

Hi Jonathan, what a sweet, smooth sounding Tele, from FGN. It has the looks too. One never tires of this colour. It is very royal with a rich depth. A quality, well made instrument with great sounding pickups true to the marque. Cheers ✌️🎸💜

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

Many thanks Rodger!!

[@UltraPvnk]

Albert “Iceman” Collins would be proud of both the guitar and your skills.

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

Thank you kindly

[@mikestroud9969]

Beautiful guitar , Beautiful playing as usual JMan ( my nickname for you 😅😅✌️). I Love Tele style guitars. So versatile ❤️❤️. Reminder. Laugh about life when we can. Laugh at ourselves too 🤣🤣😁. None of us are perfect. Things happen in life. Out. Of our control. If we can laugh everything will be fine. Take care God bless ❤️🙏💯🇺🇲

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

God bless Mike!

[@charlesharper7292]

Tasty..... I like the headstock. The one on my Fender Telle reminds me of an old house slipper with tuners stuck in the sole. This one reminds me of a flying carpet. Thank you Jon!

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

lol slippers!

[@etibkel]

I have a Fujigen Boundary Iliad Telecaster and I am very happy with it. I was looking for it very long until I found it. I tried many telecasters (20+) from many brands (Fender, Squier, Sire, Harley Benton) but for the price it was the best for me. It sounds good and it has a great neck. Great review! This telecaster is also very good option for the price.

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

Thanks for sharing!

[@tomdameek]

What a pretty little Tele Jon. 😍 it sounds like a Tele but with a little more bass, absolutely gorgeous tone. Your intro was epic sounded like something out of a movie soundtrack romantic interlude, it was that good. Cheers Jon 😃👍❤️

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

Glad you like it!

FGN are great guitars…I have the tele style with a humbucker in the neck…they’re kinda hard to get here in the states!!!

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

Yes they are awesome!

[@unclesergio]

If it has a double binding and a black fretboard this tele would perfect for me:)

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

😁

Great review sir. May I know what camera do you use to record all your videos? it's cool!

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

SONY A6400 and ZV E10

[@tweakerofknobs]

thanks for the videos on FGN guitars. Which one is your favorite between Iliad and boundary? thanks!

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

[@djb3545]

Beautiful playing. Very clean. Do you prefer high action or low on your guitars?

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

Both! but not too low...

[@user-wn1oy2kn7v]

I would love to be able to order factory direct. They are hard to get here in the US. Lovely playing by the way.

You can try emailing them

Im curious when/if this will come to Germany, i wanna check out this guitar

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

Please do

For once I am so glad I don't "get" Teles! But oh I do like CAR! Candy apple red is just beautiful. Thanks Jon, but my list to Santa is getting really long! 😂

[@yuan_yuan275]

Isn't this the same as Fender Japan's Telecaster? I was fascinated by the beautiful play😊

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

Almost!!

[@ringjalibodo]

Any idea why fgn has started to make their new boundary series guitars in Vietnam? Even this guitar is made in Vietnam. Are all the components used still Japanese made especially the electronics?

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

I know that the pickups are from Japan ✌️❤️

[@Earthshaker1965]

Gorgeous Telecaster Jon!!!❤ How does it compare to your G&L ASAT Bluesboy?

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

Different.. Bluesboy has a humbucker on the neck✌️❤️

[@Earthshaker1965]

@@JonIsJustTooLoud I guess what I meant was the feel and playability. Sorry.

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

@Earthshaker_1965 surprisingly.. about the same ✌️

[@kingmodestfirst4487]

Hi, I read made in Vietnam on a sales site so it's not Japanese made or it's an error ???

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

No it’s not an error✌️❤️

[@charlesharper7292]

Jon, I have noticed. Your hands and my hands are very similar. One right, one left. Eight fingers and two thumbs. What I would like to know is why yours work better than mine??🤷🏼‍♂️

[@strumminronin]

In fact, I'd love to know about your ears too... How come yours work so much better? 😅 Thanks for another great demo, Jon!

I think I'm at the point where I'm not going to give copycat companies any business. I appreciate the creative inventors of the world, few and far as they may be. But copycats are a dime a dozen and the obvious cookie cutter musicians these days just reflects that same trend of copying everything. Jon not included as he is excellent

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

lol I thank you.. but if you know the history of fujigen , you will be interested to find out they are the one that made all those lovely Japanese Fender models. ✌️❤️

[@lostinpa-dadenduro7555]

@@mikeb5372 FujiGen are like the OG Japanese guitar makers. In addition to doing production for the famous names they also release their own models. Sometimes it’s a straight up classic combination of features. Other times it’s done with a twist. In all cases these guys are renown for quality.
