I got my Tease SBH-HD tele style yesterday and I cannot believe what a great guitar it is. Out of the box it was setup perfectly and the color is beautiful (purple burst). Fit and finish as good as any guitar I’ve seen and I have several Gibsons, a Heritage, and an Eastman as well as others. The Tease is one of the few guitars that I won’t need to have setup. It was ready to go. Only thing I did was lower the pickups a tad for my taste and replaced the strap buttons with the ones I prefer. I had an American Strat last year that I didn’t bond with so I sold it. Had no plans to get another S style, but I’m so impressed with my Tease tele style that I will likely order one of these soon to check it out. And you’re right, the owner is a cool dude who knows how to treat customers and is very quick to respond to any questions. I emailed him a couple of times and heard back within 10-15 minutes. Great guitar, great company, great price. How can you beat that?
I love a silver burst guitar. I wonder if they make Strats? Hmm... A made in America guitar that competes with Squier/Fender? For that price? Yes, I will be looking at their line of guitars. Thanks, Jake. Regards, John...
@@1satisfiedmind Yes, I saw that on the Tease website. I already have a silver burst partscaster. But it's a trem version. I want another hardtail. I spoke to Torsten about that and he told me that he does not have a hardtail model right now. He has my email and will let me know if his line expands to hardtails. Jake is right. He is a nice guy. He gave me lots of advice and other options from other manufacturers. Regards, John...
I agree, I don't support overseas guitars. What got me was Torsten's mindset on customer service ( I'm in my 60s) . So on July 4th 2024 I ordered the same guitar and color. Since his shop is a hour from me, I drove there, on July 6th, now remember that I don't usually support Chinese guitars. I got to the shop and Torsten was checking out a purple SBH and doing what was needed. I said to Torsten the picture doesn't give any justice to the purple. I told him that I would buy the purple one also. Torsten then got my black SBH , did his thing and handed it to me....I played both guitars and I spent 2 hours with Torsten and he kept checking out each guitar. I have an 🇺🇸 strat and had no connection to many other guitars. But the neck on both my SBH are awesome, first they fit my hand and I can slide up and down the neck with ease. I truly can say that these guitars are definitely top notch and Torsten is 👍 ‼️ Now I have to learn to get decent tones out of the guitar....I'm used to a stratocaster with single coils.

Sounds really good!

They do make Strats, in fact they only have the Strat and Tele variations currently.

John, send me a message on Discord. Torsten is developing a hardtail right now!
