    TC-90-I know they are new, but has anyone tried them??

    Honestly I am a Gibson guy but lately I have been thinking of adding a Tele to my gear but I got the new Musicians Friend catalog today and seen the TC-90 thinline. I really like it and I think it might be my next guitar so I was just wondering if anyone has seen one or played one. I think the vintage white is the one for me. I will have to change those knobs though.

    I am evaluating one right now. :blbros

    I just recieived this 2 weeks ago, and so far I like it.

    I have the vintage white version.
    TC-90 specs

    Wonderful full sound but I have some minor issues:
    1) tone pot noisey like the way an AC coupled capicitor leaks DC,
    2) the set up is annoying, way too much fret buzz

    However, considering the wonderful SD P90s and the set neck,
    wow this is a real break through. I am willing to pay twice as
    much if this was:
    1) 100% USA made (presently made in Korea)
    2) If I had a choice of maple or rosewood fretboard
    3) ...and a honey blonde would be nice with a birdseye maple
    neck and fretboard, and cream covers on the P90s, and a cream
    pick guard.

    I would like to hear from others on this 'off the wall' tele,

    Considering it's a kind of a blend of both Fender and Gibson
    classic ideas, would you consider yours a Fenson Gibner,
    a Les Caster, Tele Paul?

    So far I think I have a Les Tele, and Mo Paul.
    :rofl

    Thanks,
    -VS

    Picked mine up and used it Friday and Saturday It has a real long narrow neck which i liked

    the Pickups are nice and fuzzy SD p-90's

    the build quality is amazing considering the price

    The Pups did buzz quite a bit due to 60 cycle hum but otherwise agreat guitar at an unbelievable price
