Reply With QuoteI've been looking to find one myself. I passed them by when MF was dumping them along with everyone else. Now they command a fair price used...and I'm not really a fair priced guy.
They kind of remind me of the Schecter PT Tele.

Musician's Friend MIK Tele
A couple of years ago, I ordered one after playing a friend's. This guitar is sweet! DiMarzio humbuckers with a push/pull coil split, set neck, string-through bridge, relief cut thin body. The neck is fabulous and fast. It's built to rock, and rock it does. I don't hear too much about other players and this guitar.
Anyone else here have one?

I recently sold a MIK tele to my brother. I thought they were excellent for the money and very well built. I had the Deluxe FMT tele that had Duncans in it. Great guitar, I just prefer single coils. My brother is really digging the guitar though.
The gold top on those axes is fabulous.

This Tele is "Tele" only in shape. I guess Fender licensed the name to whatever Korean plant to make some money.
It's a flat out rocker and a great guitar, though.
Maybe one day I'll actually buy a "proper" Tele.

I love those Teles. I am particularly fond of the gold tops. Very cool looking.

My Showmaster is a cousin of that guitar. It is also MIK. Very nicely put together. Set neck, one humbucker, very flat fretboard. Not a typical Fender by any means. I lusted after one of those Teles when I saw them in the MF catalog.

It's a good guitar to break out on some hard rockers. It has one of the sweetest necks I've ever played, and that's why I bought it.
