Hi everyone, I've been reading a lot in here and I am looking for some light on how these teles are in the current production. The Thomann website descriptions (specs) look outdated and I think the same happens with the pictures. - What is the consensus regarding what you get nowadays when you buy a 30, a 52 or a 70 Black Paisley? - Have they sorted out the issues on the Black Paisley? Any changes expected for the new batch that is coming this month? - What pickups are now on these guitars? - What are the neck differences between models? If you guys want to help or have something to add, feel free to do it

The best you can do - if you know a bit of German - is put the site on the German language, this is usually first updated.
The TE-52 now has Roswell pickups for sure. The TE-30 have no-name pickups ("2 TE-Style Single Coils"). TE-70 is not available for a while yet, it'll probably have Roswells. You can always email Thomanns guitar team at gitarre@thomann.de , they will do their best to answer any questions or concerns you have.

I was also unsure between the TE30 and TE52 so, like the poster above suggests, send them an e-mail. However, don't build your hopes up, I've been waiting for weeks for a reply. To me, all the indications are that these are poorly assembled guitars so I'm looking elsewhere.

At the moment I feel like I am leaning more towards 30 and 70 Paisley.. so maybe I'll end up getting the 52 I am trying to figure out if the 70 is worth double the 30. On specs it would have better hardware, better bridge (compensated), a better neck with a 1mm wider nut and less body weight. In theory those would all be nice things but I can't play any of them before buying. I just want to buy a guitar and an iRig to have some fun, not really going to play with real amps. Also, the setup is not a problem, I always do that myself, just need to have a good basis to work on.

I can't speak for the other models, but I love my TE-52.
