Hello everyone. I'm new to this forum and guitar world. In a few words-I fell in love with telecasters(to be exact with TE-90FLT).I listened a couple of demos and the sound was good for me. I want to ask you about problems/issues which I can get have with it. Does it stay in tune? What about finish quality? Am I supposed to change any parts in the future to have better sound, comfortability and so on? (sorry for my bad english)

great guitar with a nice playable neck, finish is great even if mine was a B stock model. the only big problem i had with mine where badly seated and loose frets. unless you can solve this yourself, i wouldn't bother to get it done by a guitar tech. it will cost you the price of the guitar. if you would get one withe the same problem just send it back. staying in tune has very little to nothing to do whit the price/brand of a guitar, its more down to strings binding in the nut and string trees or both. or a not completely seated neck and so on. the feel and action of the original tuning pegs is as good as more expensive guitars. also be aware that the filtertron type of pickups in this guitar is limited in its use. hence why i order mine to put mini humbuckers on it, with no interest in the filtertrons at all. didn't even plug the guitar in with the standard pickups.

I always find sunburst discussing but on yours it works just lovely! That white PG sure makes the burst look better + the light maple fretboard too! What do you mean by "limited in use" ?

Strings do stretch ... neck also works ... if it looses tuning a bit after a day or two hanging on the wall that is not tuning (in)stability that is simply materials reacting to hot/cold/humid/dry etc ... changes in the house.
If tuning goes off during playing , like bending and stuff then its a tuning stability and nut is likely the culprit!

there good for cleans and a most a crunch anything beyond that and they lose definition, and start to sound nasally.

Due to musical differences I've decided I can't work with myself any more.
