Assembled and manufactured by Fujigen, it maintains stable quality and high cost performance while offering modern playability suitable for various styles. The "TL33-M BLK" features a classic wood combination of a basswood body and maple neck, and simple controls with a 3-way selector and 1 volume/1 tone. The pickups have been replaced from the original to the "Monty's Guitars Retro Wind Telecaster Pickups Set," and the potentiometers (changed to CTS) and capacitors have also been upgraded to film type. (Please note that the original pickups are not included.) "Monty's Guitars" is a high-end pickup brand from London, UK. Founder Matt Gleeson thoroughly analyzed vintage pickups and reconstructed the tone for modern players, delivering top performance across all genres. The "Retro Wind Telecaster Pickups" set is the most balanced and musically sounding model among Monty's Telecaster pickups. When playing chords, the sound is beautifully cohesive, with warm, chime-like highs and a tight, woody rhythm. The drive is clear and never harsh. High resolution is ensured by limiting potting to only partial applications. Recommended for those looking for a modern classic with a contemporary twist on a vintage Telecaster tone.
