Ohhhhhhhhhh man! The BN tele's I've played ring like a bell and have great sustain! Lolar pu's sound incredible! Very dynamic, rich & quiet pickups. Bridge pu gives full-range of twangy, spanking tele tones & neck pu gives rich, full, smooooooooth tones. Still tweaking my amps, pedals to suit my tastes & explore the full-range of tones you can squeeze outta this sweet sounding guitar. Great for playing all styles & all music....except for maybe thrash/metal.
Action, Fit, & Finish

The BEST new guitar setup of any guitar I've EVER played and purchased. Great intonation & sustain, wonderful harmonics. Medium string height, 10 ga. strings. Stock strings have softer feel than slinky 10's. Fret finish is good and love the medium-fat frets! Neck is straight as an arrow! Medium relic body and neck wear is a little cheezy if you look too close (but, for me, it's all about the sound and feel!).
Reliability/Durability
:
9
A sturdy and solid slab-body guitar. Reliable as anybody makes. Made to be played loud & hard, slapped, spanked & strangled! No need for a backup when playing-out. The thin finish is desirable for great tone. I'll wear down the finish playing the hell out of it.
Customer Support

No Opinion
No need to contact BN thus far and wouldn't expect I'll need to. But from all the reviews, appears BN is available and willing to please his customers. Not sure what the warrantee period is, but, a warrantee is good only if the company is in business. Hope BN is in it for a loooooong time cranking-out these fun guitars!
Overall Rating

Playing 40+ years. Play great Fender, Gibson & Collings guitars thru Matchless, Fender black-face & vintage tweeds. Bought & sold two Fender '52 reissues because they weren't that great. Searched for a great Tele for under $3000 for yrs when I bumped into a Nash tele. I was blown-away by the look, feel, sound & quality! My Nash T-57 stands proudly next to Fender & Gibsons. Players I know are going-nuts over BN guitars because they look, play & sound soooooo good!
