Musician's Friend MIK Tele

[Plank_Spanker]

A couple of years ago, I ordered one after playing a friend's. This guitar is sweet! DiMarzio humbuckers with a push/pull coil split, set neck, string-through bridge, relief cut thin body. The neck is fabulous and fast. It's built to rock, and rock it does. I don't hear too much about other players and this guitar.

Anyone else here have one?

I've been looking to find one myself. I passed them by when MF was dumping them along with everyone else. Now they command a fair price used...and I'm not really a fair priced guy.

They kind of remind me of the Schecter PT Tele.

I recently sold a MIK tele to my brother. I thought they were excellent for the money and very well built. I had the Deluxe FMT tele that had Duncans in it. Great guitar, I just prefer single coils. My brother is really digging the guitar though.

The gold top on those axes is fabulous.

nice looking guitar....i too prefer single coils in teles....but have heard teles with humbuckers that do sound sweet (just not like a tele to me)

This Tele is "Tele" only in shape. I guess Fender licensed the name to whatever Korean plant to make some money.

It's a flat out rocker and a great guitar, though.

Maybe one day I'll actually buy a "proper" Tele.

I love those Teles. I am particularly fond of the gold tops. Very cool looking.

My Showmaster is a cousin of that guitar. It is also MIK. Very nicely put together. Set neck, one humbucker, very flat fretboard. Not a typical Fender by any means. I lusted after one of those Teles when I saw them in the MF catalog.

Thats a really cool guitar...especially with the finish and the Dimarzios, they just belong there.

It's a good guitar to break out on some hard rockers. It has one of the sweetest necks I've ever played, and that's why I bought it.
