Sound
:9
as before,agree with the previous review,..the sound is excptional..so tele,.but almost with its own bias+character..love it!..its only limitation is as with all tele type guitars,.the neck hasnt the slick speed of a strat,+it greatly suits 10 grade strings,.not the standard 9(+keep those pickups as low as possible-great sound!..i play it often unplugged,.a true test!

mines possible 6-7 years old+ive played it non-stop daily since buying it secondhand for 120??? about 3 years ago,.so stuffs wearing,the fretts+bridge need re-newing soon..just to add,..ive had a vintage les paul custom,.couple of nice u.s.stratts+a u.s. tele.....this compares with those guitars,..for a fraction of their cost..i like country,stones,blues...where can i buy another if this were lost or stolen?
Reliability/Durability

Overall Rating
:10
i wonder how good it really is,..a friend+very proffessional muscian friend borrowed it+used it at a gig,..he returned it with endless praise,.better sound than his fernandez he loves?..how china does it for under 200??? god knows!!..really put me off paying regular mega money for american,...the finish on my u.s. tele was poor,+it wasnt such a great sound either!(that same guitar is around 1300 euros today!!)

I was looking for a cheap Telecaster-copy (squier or tokai mainly) and ran into this very nice looking, and very cheap guitar. Looks over anything, and so I tried it and fell in love with it. Easy playability, nice construction and it sounded right.
It's made in China year 2002, January.
21 frets, volume and tone, 3-way selector. 2 sincle-coil pickups. The way should be in a tele. No idea about the manufacturer or model of them.
Bridge was thru-body.
Tuners are nameless shite. The only thing I worry about. Should change them.
Did come with cable and tools.

I have played many guitars, from ES-335 -74 to various Jackson models, and always wanted a tele-style guitar. Tested few Fenders and anyway I find this cheap chinese copy to fit my collection better than any of those originals. I play various styles, but mainly blues nowadays.
I'm using for training a 15 watt Crate (transistor) and for jamming a Rivera 30 watt top with a Marshall cabinet. Sounds very decent for it's price.
No noise at any settings. Did surprise me.
Very tele-like sound. I wouldn't say rich, but...very much tele.
Also, it's sounds good even unplugged. I live in a apartment, so playing without any amplification is very often. So that's good too.

Don't know about factory settings, 'cause I bought one from the window.
Only flaws that I found was few branches on the neck. They are very small, and you can't even feel them. So at this point they are only cosmetic flaws. But I live in Finland, and winter time can cause something. Nut was also a bit "unfinished".
Body is made of two pieces(I think, maybe three). Lacquered neck (think it looks great). Sunburst body and the lacquer there is very thick.

I don't play live, so telling about its durability would be lying. And I mentioned about those tuners.
The work seems overall very robust, so I think it should last long before you get broken. Well, if drop on it's neck, maybe then...

I've been playing for six years with various gear. At this moment I have a finnish made electro-acoustic (Landola), and a Gibson ES-335. I have Zoom505 multi-effect and a ProCo RAT (original). I use only the RAT.
If someone would steal that T-60 I would check Coxx's ES-335 copy. Or buy another one. The price isn't that bad anyway.
Love the looks and sound. And for this price, it would very stupid to hate it. I knew I bought a cheap instrument, so I have to live with it.
Before I bought it, I tried various tele-copies, Tokai, Squier etc. And even the Fender itself. But the price was the thing. For under 200 euros I got a guitar that's very close to the original.
