Got a chance to play the tele with my band today, I.e. I got a feeling for how it actually performs. I believe that you only get this when you play in a live situation. So, here’s the verdict:
First of all, the K-Line is way better than any regular Fender tele. In order to get something like this from Fender, you’d have to pick the best stuff from Fender Custom Shop, but they can’t deliver according to my desired specs.
I own other high end guitars, a PRS Single cut, a PRS SC245 and a Ruokangas v.s.o.p, and soundwise the K-line stands up to all of these guitars. I.e I get a rich, dynamic sound, with beautiful overtones. Most important, I get all this without loosing clearity, which is what I believe separates high end from low end guitars. I’m also impressed with the neck – my low action doesn’t make the strings rattle at any fret. The only thing that worries me is that it’s possible to get such a great guitar for reasonable money, hopefully I can raise money to get another before everyone else discovers K-Line and the prices go up ,-) Cheers
