Jay Turser

Anyone tried one of these before? I found a nice model and its fairly cheap
(160$) http://www.instrumentpro.com/P-JAYJT...f122817af93459 also you can go to their official site and check, they have nice tele copies too, the necks look nice and shiny

I'd maybe steer you towards a Squier product, rather than a Turser-made guitar. You can barely give these things away on Ebay. At least if you had a Squier, you'd probably get most of your $$ outlay, in the event that you weren't totally satisfied with it, and wanted to sell it.

I've played a few Tursers, and they're pretty nice guitars. Pick-ups seemed a little weak, and the usual sharp fret issues. Overall, its a pretty good guitar for the $$. As for me, i'd probably spend the extra $30, and get the Squier Strat in one of the tasty SE editions, like this one:

In that case I will probably go with a more expensive Fender guitar, I was just curious about that one because it looked nice, better then the Fender MIM strandard strat.

Follow Nelskie's advice and buy a Squire. I own a Jay Turser Strat. The Squire is much superior. They make many clones of many manufacturers.
