Towards the close of 2014, I managed to grab this Fender TL-71. I had a Strat in mind but felt that a Tele manifests my single coil moments better. The TL-71 has a gloss-finish neck so it feels like a Gibson upon handling but profile-wise, the neck was anything but a Gibson. That ash body is way lighter than my PRS SE 245 but the acoustic sustain is impressive.
The single coils on board were not of vintage specs, it's rather hot-sounding & they both possess a very commanding top end but thanks to the ash body chemistry, we also hear a strong lower midrange response. Despite this impression, I have some replacement pickups in mind, in fact, I'm heading over to Beez's soon.
