It is. In fact, it's more than all right. Lowered the action, sorted the intonation (didn't have to do much, tbh) and gave it a run out through the amp. Cleans sound great, it has that signature Tele twang on the bridge pick-up, neck PU is OK without being amazing, between the two sounds really nice. Through the OD channel sounds properly punky, but I reckon it's at its best through the clean channel and turned up to breaking point.
Apart from the scratches on the scratchplate, the other thing that takes the gloss off a bit is that the strings are a bit dirty. Get the feeling it's been played and more than once. Not the end of the world and I can't complain for £130, but it is a bit annoying to have to swap them out immediately.
But it definitely gets the thumbs up. I can't think you could get a better guitar than this for the price. Hell, you could spend twice as much as this on something and be distinctly underwhelmed by the comparison.
Looks alright that!
