OK, I wanted a USA Telecaster, but couldn't justify the price. So I went for the Vintage V62 in Ash Blonde, a great colour, especially in combination with a Rosewood neck. It looks gorgeous, very vintage. It also sounds great, particularly now I have upgraded the pots with genuine CTS 250k ones and the switch with a USA Oak Griggs version. This guitar is a tone monster, but I would recommend the mods, I went with a 4 way wiring loom that adds a selection for both pickups in series, which gives a warm, fat tone, much like a Humbucker. The stock pickups are great, very defined, good clarity, no muddiness. The stock pots and switch are not so good, but it costs not very much to replace them and it is worth the extra expenditure and a bit of time to solder the new parts correctly. I wold highly recommend this guitar and would buy in preference to a Mexican Tele, although not in preference to the USA version. Having said that, a USA Tele costs about 5 times as much!Read full review

I had been looking around for a new budget telecaster or s/h mexican tele for a while, but after reading and listening to on-line reviews, i felt i had to try one for myself. There is no doubt that this is an awesome guitar. I own a Fender 60s Classic Player MIM, and so i know how the Vintage V62 guitar should have felt. Well it was very comfortable to play from the off and i have fallen in love with it, but with just one exception. Beware the dreaded sharp fret ends!!! I know what causes this problem (humidity), but there is no excuse for a new guitar to leave the factory or distribution centre (in this case John Hornby Skewes up norf), without this detail being quality checked. So, after just over a week of trying to find a luthier to quote to resolve at JHS expense, ive decided it needs to be sent back and replaced with one that has no fret end issues.Read full review
