An exquisite high-end Telecaster experience awaits the player who gets his hands on a Special Edition Custom Telecaster FMT HH. First, it looks phenomenal, with a carved flame maple top on a mahogany body, cream body binding, a gorgeous finish with a matching headstock, a mahogany set neck, abalone dot fingerboard inlays and black hardware.
Second, it sounds phenomenal, with dual Seymour Duncan humbucking pickups, three-way pickup switching, a push/pull coil tap switch built into the master tone control knob, and more. A decidedly no... on-traditional Telecaster of peerlessly crafted style and powerful sonic substance.

Hmm. Crafted in Indonesia. Wonder how the quality is compared to the made in mexico ones.
It's funny, I have a squier bullet strat that's made in china that has excellent fret work.
Then I have a made in mexico strat and tele that's are also excellent.
Then the american made acoustasonic tele... fret work isn't so great.
If I ever see another american strat in texas tea...
I don't think it matters much any more, and excellent ones can come from anywhere and poor ones can come from anywhere.

I'll just add again.
When it says "used" be prepared to actually get a used one. I did on the american acoustasonic telecaster deal.
Yep, you can't complain about getting what was stated. I bought a used telecaster from proaudiostar and it was brand new. Still in all the plastic with everything on it. But like you said, I was expecting a used guitar (or customer return, etc.) so it was a bonus. I haven't looked at their return policy, but I thought I researched it when I bought mine and it was pretty good... Good enough that I took a chance anyway.

My Classic Vibe Butterscotch Squier Tele is made in Indonesia, and it's one of my nicest guitars, FWIW.

Yep, buying a guitar online is a crapshoot. Buying new in store is a crapshoot unless they sell you the actual one you try. I no longer buy guitars over the internet as the country of manufacture or name on the headstock doesn't mean much beyond resell value

The only thing that bothers me about "used" in this case is this statement on the page:
"Manufacturer's Warranty Does Not Apply"
And that you can't see pictures of the specific unit. My used acoustasonic had a slightly messed up knob, and a very tiny ding on the back. Just took some light sanding to the knob (they're wood on that one) and I'm quite happy having saved $700-1000.
But it'd be nice to see pictures of actual unit to know if there are any worse issues before dealing with the hassle of shipping for a return.
I have seen this guitar used with case locally for the same price and at least you can see in person the condition. The ones I have observed for sale seem they do not hold their value very well.
I just bought the amber. This guitar has been on my radar for a while. I mainly bought it so my daughter has something to use/learn on other than my expensive pieces or my trem axes.
I purchased a case (described as "used") from Proaudiostar - it looked new. I bought a guitar from them as well, described as new, and was very nice. I was pleased with both purchases, shipping was prompt, communication was good, CS reps were helpful. I would definitely purchase from them again.

Haha...these are great players, but when I had one I kept thinking I had my Les Paul on and kept trying to hit the pickup switch at the top of the body
ProAudioStar is a great company. If you're looking this is a great deal.
